I'm kinda confused on what should i get. I have a Nikon D3100 and I'd like to get lenses for it. I wanna use it for Street photography, and people.

Get the 50mm f1.8 - the 35mm is rather too wide for portraits. As to what you want to use on the street, the 50mm will be fine for that too & give you a little more space so you are not in people's faces.

I use a 50mm f1.8 and an 85mm f1.8 for street and portraiture.

Why not both!
35mm/1.8 is a DX lens anyway. And if you are not scared of Manual focus, you can go for AF50mm/1.8D
the cheapest lens in nikon line up.

On a DX camera, I'd vote for the 35mm for street photography. Just my opinion.
