The problem of making friends and subsequent friendship causes a heated discussion in society. Some people believe that it is easier to make friends than to keep them, while others hold an opposite view.
As far as I am concerned, keeping friends takes more effort than making them. First of all, people are unique. They might have a complicated personality, and despite similar interests, friends can argue a lot. So they have to work hard to stay in a long-term friendship. Secondly, when a person moves to another city or even a country, it is difficult to keep a distance relationship. Many people appreciate real-life communication more than online, so lack of it may lead to ending the friendship.
However, some people claim that making friends is more challenging than keeping them.
They say that it is really hard for someone to come up to a stranger and start a conversation.
Despite my respect for this opinion, I cannot agree with it. You everywhere can find friendly people who do not mind getting acquainted with somebody. So it is unnecessary for you to take the first step if you are scared or too shy.
In conclusion, although there are different points of view, I still believe that it is simple for people to make friends than to keep a good, long-term friendship.
