Making new friends or dropping one: which is harder for you?

Making new friends can be difficult, but there's the other side of the coin: you get in an argument with a friend, and it's bad enough to where you start thinking whether or not the person is still a friend.

Which is harder for you to do?

I can make friends easily enough. And i have never dropped any but I have been dropped by lots. Usually happens after they get married.

It's so easy to just not see people, meeting new people is like effort, you have to try to make new friends if you don't try to not keep in touch with old firends it's a lot easier

Making new friends. Its easy not to call someone, not reply to their msgs, make up excuses not to see them. Not a good feeling to be on either end of it. biggest_loser

Depends on the context really as to why you'd want to drop a friend in the first place. I had to end a friendship with one of my longest standing and closest friends a few years ago, which was pretty saddening. Making friends though can be straightforward, although I notice that we/people/I tend to get a little choosier with age…

Dropping them. I'd feel really bad for them. Ignoring them would be a lot more cruel than just telling them to their face though.

Ive never had a problem with meeting people and making new friends. I have never dropped a friend but have gradually seen less and less of them. Ive had a few fights with friends, some of which have turned violent but the next day we are always back on talking terms.

So for me it is harder to drop a friend.

I'll go with dropping because it can be stressful and dramatic for me and makes me feel bad. Good thing I don't go through that :3

Making friends is easy as long as you are friendly and pick the right ppl.

Dropping a friend is moreharder IMO.

Making new friends is always harder for me to do:(

dropping a friend is a lot harder especially if its your best friend

Dropping a friend.

makin them because you'll never kno how they really act until you them well... met this kid he turned out to be super annoyin wish i never met him

I make new friends all the time, and I've never lost a friend because of an argument or disagreement. Even the times I have had every reason to end the friendship I wouldn't (such as kissing my girlfriend at the time which has happened with multiple friends and multiple girlfriends sadly). I suppose I'm extremely persistent in my friendships...

The only time I ever "loose a friend" is when I'd move away and do not constantly keep contact. However, I try to be aware of what is going on in their lives and will try to see them about once a year.

I can only think of one friend that I really hated for a while. I didn't talk to him for three years, but we've been good friend again for the past couple years.

Probably dropping a friend, but it does depend on the person.

In my personal experience I believe that making new friends is much harder. Dropping friends (the way you phrased "dropping friends" makes friends seem like mere objects) can easily be achieved, without all the emotions, if you gradually stop seeing each other.kulmiye

Well, there is an English phrase that comes to mind when a person you thought was a friend stabs you in the back: you "drop them like a hot rock".:P

Making a new friend. If a friend has been a d-bag then ill just stop talking to him.

Dropping. I have very little incentive to do that - and for the most part I try to be as forgiving as possible.

It's harder to make new friends, though I don't like dropping old ones unless they are annoying
