Is this true?

Definitely. The ones that shuffle friends like it's a fashion trend, treat people like they're expendable. Rarely do they reflect on how they are the problem. One can say that the way you make friends speaks more to the quality and longevity of the friendship.

Sometimes you can have a momentary good friendship that does not last beyond what was initially circumstantial, giving it a shorter duration. It didn't have to mean anything bad. Sometimes you need to move on. Everyone has those relationships where you were relatively close to someone for a season or two, and once you have to do other things that diverge life paths, trying to keep in contact becomes contrived.

We should hold some reservations since there are people who are good but are odd and can't make friends easily. Maybe they're on the spectrum and can't understand social cues. However, if you're not on the spectrum, don't have severe mental issues, and you did not have some sad past, then, man, you must be a problem. Then it's not others; it's you.

Be wary of people who brag about how they only value themselves and that they would not care if relationships ended. That tells you a lot about how they see the people around them. Though sometimes people say this as a coping mechanism because they pick bad friends and get used, then get tossed to the side. These are usually very good people, maybe too good, though. They would not actually be like that. It's the classic, "I don't care about what people think of me" -- said by the person who does care about what people think but says it to build mental strength and also pride, moreover, feels shame in their weakness, so they engage in bravado to not feel so small. It's easy to separate the former from the latter.
 
What a dumb post as expected from twitter. There can be numerous factors and circumstances that prevent long term friendships. There are even people who aren't very sociable to begin with but that doesn't mean they are inherently bad.
