Nowadays, it is hard to imagine reality without social
media
. A great number of humans assume creating a new
friendship
 through chat rooms and social websites is very convenient whereas others oppose that individuals should hobnob by eye-to-eye meeting. From my perspective, people make new
friends
 if they know each other. In
this
 essay, I will support my answer with relevant examples.
Initially
, using social networks for setting up a new
friendship
 is an extremely bad idea because of addiction. Those who practice social
media
 a lot start to feel addicted to Facebook or Instagram. The New York Times published an article about dopamine addiction

 and started to make real

, not virtual ones.
Secondly
, a face-to-face meeting is more guaranteed for long-term relationships. You have time and opportunity to get acquainted with the people who surround you and know their characteristics features. In
this
 case, a new
friendship
 will have a quality and will
last
 long as you know the person whom you deal with.
For example

This
 is possible only when you have one-on-one cases. To conclude,
although
 social
media
 has brought some benefits to society, the drawbacks of overusing them is much more crucial. I strongly believe, people should make a real friend with a long-lasting
friendship
 which will have more quality than making
friends
 through network websites.
