In a manga, a girl is reproaching her friend for not being very sociable since
she became friend with a guy from the school cinema club:

> あんた あの映研のメガネとつるむようになってから **つきあい悪い** し **ノリも悪い**

I read on Kenkyusha dictionary that 付き合いの悪い人 is "an unsociable person", while
[here](https://japanese.stackexchange.com/questions/6587/where-does-the-
phrase-%E3%83%8E%E3%83%AA%E3%81%8C%E6%82%AA%E3%81%84-come-from-and-what-is-
the-meaning) I read that ノリが悪い人 is "someone who never joins in". To me they
look pretty similar, but since they are used together in the sentence, there
must be a slight difference. Could someone plese explain what this difference
is? Thank you!

Difference between 付き合いが悪い and ノリが悪い
This ノリ is a slangy term, and it corresponds to the fourth definition
[here](https://jisho.org/word/%E4%B9%97%E3%82%8A): "(getting into the) mood;
(entering into the) spirit; energy; enthusiasm; rhythm; feeling". So ノリが悪い is
more about one's vibes, atmosphere, etc. Simply put, by ノリが悪い, the girl is
saying her friend seems bored and not energetic when they are together.

付き合いが悪い is relatively more objective, and mainly refers to the reluctance to
be together in their free time. For example, if someone turned down an
invitation to go to a movie/izakaya/etc without good reason, that may be
付き合いが悪い.
