Singer Mayorkun says losing a friend can hit harder than a breakup with a partner.

He shared his view on the In My Opinion podcast.

He said people put more into friendships because real friendship means you actually like the other person and enjoy their company.

A romantic relationship has a physical side, but friendship is mostly about companionship and good times together.

He also said it can be hard to trust someone new after a friendship ends.

"So if the thing ends, don't worry, you will get a new girlfriend before you get a new friend," he joked.

He added that after a friendship breaks, many people do not want to start another close one, unless they are the type who calls everyone a friend.
