Current Events > What would you rather have. A shitty friend, or no friend?

(+) Yeah! (+)

While it could be argued that a 'shitty' friend was never really a friend to begin with, some people would probably say it's "better than nothing.", but is it really?

By shitty friend, I mean one who is a fair weathered friend, or one who only does 'friend' things when they are in the mood for it. They don't really have much loyalty or respect for what a friend actually is. However, when they feel like being friendly, they can be fun to be around.

Given this description. Would you rather have a friend like this, or just get them out of your life?

I'd rather have no friend than one I can't depend on
---

I feel the same.

I mean the first is fine if it's something you recognize is just a casual acquaintance/occasional friend. Otherwise B I guess.
---

If you prefer a shitty friend, then you've obviously never had a shitty friend before.

That sounds like an uncommitted friend rather than a shitty one. I'd label someone a shitty person if they were to constantly be unreliable.

Given this description, yeah it's better than no friends. It's not someone you'd want to hang out with often, but I like having a lot of filler friends to chill with to mix things up now and then.
