My point was just that you don't need to choose between hanging out with your friends and making a new friend. You never know, that person could become a friend for life. I think it's worth making the effort but I understand it's not for everyone.

I'm selective about who I keep as friends but I try not to close myself off initially, as I've been on the other end of it as well; being in a new city and trying to make friends. With some people it just doesn't click, while others I still have as some of my best friends.

Anyways, I wasn't trying to upset anyone, just giving my 2 cents

I think the situation isn't relatable to you which makes it difficult to get the joke. and that's perfectly fine.
