There are 2 relevant approaches in commentaries-

1. Judge people favorably or you'll end up without friends and teachers. (Rav Chaim MiVelozin- Ruach HaChaim.)

2. Even tough you may have a small circle - maybe only one of each - of friends and teachers, remember there's a whole world out there and don't look arrogantly look down at others. (Rabbi SR Hirsch); December 22, 2013 at 11:28 PM
