Both are pretty hard maintaining is probably more difficult for me.

keeping friends is harder for me. If i am an aqquaintance i feel there is no pressure on me, but with friendships i fear them getting to know me too well. I am incredibly lazy in making an effort for example talking on the phone/sending messages etc, but most of all i need to be alone all the time. Another reason is i have terribly low self esteem and wonder why anyone would want to bewith me so i avoid people. I have lost many peopke due to this avoidance.

I fare better at initial impressions (also the reason why I perform reasonably well at interviews). Maintaining friendships are amazingly hard.

I find the maintaining of friendships the hardest part. I am always afraid the more the person gets to know me the more the person may not like me.
In the beginning they hardly know anything about you, so I find it is quite easy to talk initially because of that.

I can't keep friends, there's never that special connection to make the friendship going.
