I used to be quite skeptical about that view. But once you have reached adulthood, I suppose there is some truth to that phrase. This is because those friends that I still hang out with until now are mostly those that I met in high school. Funny how life works out, huh?

There are few reasons why is it more difficult to make new friends when we are adult. 

1. We simply interact with lesser people

This is not weird at all since we spend our 8 hours during 5 out of 7 days in our week stuck in the office. And it is not easy to make friend with people in the office. Especially if you throw office politics into the relationship. 

2. We are more experienced in relationship

After those years of making both good and toxic friends, we kinda put a lot of conditions when we are trying to make new friends. After all, self-discovery gives way to self-knowledge. This tend to make us in a way more picky in making a friend. 

3. We are no longer have a venue to make new friends

A.K.A. School. Which makes it more challenging to meet people who share same interest with us. Although, we can always join a class or community to meet those who share same hobby or interest with us. But this is not the same just like when we are in school. For instance, there is this social event whereby we meet a lot of new people. We introduce ourselves, exchange contacts, add each other facebook and bam! Nothing. Nothing happened after that. 

It's okay. Life goes on. We will adapt. Alone or with friends. Hahaha.
