Which is harder to do, in your experience?

Is it harder making friends OR is it harder keeping them?

For me, its definitely keeping them. Like I if a friend moves away to a different city or goes to a different school, I have a really hard time keeping in touch. Which is why I have also lost a lot of friends.

I'm shy until I warm up to a person, but once I make a friend, it's for life

Keeping them. I'm good with initially making friends with somebody but then the followup of having to keep in touch with them and make plans to hang out with them and all that I'm really bad at

Keeping 'em. I usually end up paying 'em dust, but not on purpose

Keeping friends, but it's usually not my fault. People are just ****ing ******

Keeping them definitely. My introversion and lack of interest to keep in touch have costed me several close friendships

Both for me

In my case its keeping them.

Making them.
Most of my friends are from elementary/middle school

.

Keeping them is a lot harder. Making friends isn't too hard if you're in college or anything - you just make friends with someone in your class or join an activity. But it becomes harder to maintain those relationships.

FAR easier to keep them. Like keeping friends is easy.

It's so hard for me to make friends. But if we become friends then we'll probably be friends for life.

Pretty much all of my friends never went to any of my schools.

Making them.

Once I make a true friend, they're stuck with me forever

Same.

I find it pretty hard even to talk to people.

Making them!!

I do too.

I make friends in school pretty easily, so definitely keeping them.

The problem is I just want school friends? If that makes sense. I don't want to spend time with anyone 8 hours day, and after school, just to see you again 12 hours later in the morning.

That came out really harsh.

Both. It takes me forever to become close to people and even when I do the friendship usually only lasts 4 years max I blame my parents tbh
