If a new friend thinks you should replace your old friends with new ones by meeting new friends, they're not much of a friend, which makes you wonder why they keep on pretending to be. The same goes for anything new, a new guard, a new order, a new
normal, or a new world. The old dysfunctional world was good enough (real enough) as it was, and may never be as good as it was again (meanwhile
people that want to benefit off a "new
normal" such as a new guard try and tell you that things will be better at the end of the tunnel they put everybody in as a social experiment, all to lock down everybody's town with
lies).
New friends are
people you haven't known a long time, therefore you have no reason to trust anybody that tries to call themself your new friends. Anybody can pretend to be your friend, some can
do it for years, so why would anybody want to replace the
old with the new, whether it be friends or anything else in life? Because somebody else convinced them (manipulated them into) thinking it was a good idea?
