I'm an introvert so I don't like to get to know other people. Moreover, my job rarely has to communicate with new people. That's why I don't have the opportunity to meet them.

No often, but sometimes I like to meet new people. It's so good when you met family and friends.

Really, In the past I knew more people, now with social media, if more difficult, for me... I like to see people and look through to eyes.

I didn't go anywhere within the Covid-19 period, so I have no chance to meet new people. Now I more frighten to go out. I don't go anywhere, I don't even go to my work since Feb 8 ... I am trying to improve my English skill these days. If I lose my job, I need to have good English to easily get another job.
