Answer:

The meaning of this saying “I don't need a friend who changes when I change” means that you don't need a friend that copies your every move or tries to strictly be like you, or sometimes that "friend" that copies your every move and agrees with everything you say wants to win you over or just wants you to like them. You don't need a friend who doesn't know how to be themselves and try to be you because of that instead of trying to find themselves.

"I don't need a friend who changes when I change and who nods when I nod; my shadow does that much better."

You don’t need a friend who changes everything about them just because you changed yourself, they’re probably jealous of you and wanna be just like you. If you change someone shouldn’t change themselves to be you because every person is unique and special, and if other people change to be just like you, they don’t stand out and they don’t know what to do for themselves so they change to be like you.
