Sometimes I meet new people online, especially through Facebook and Instagram. They are people who have some friends in common with me or people that work in the same place as me. It is good to meet new people in order to expand your friend circle and maybe start doing something new or different.

I rarely meet new people I am dissociable person

Unofortunately no. Now I'm sitting all day home because of corona breakdown. Before this disaster It still could happen.

I always meet a new person

This happens regularly, but now during the corona it is a little bit so hard.

It's difficult for me to answer the similar question accurately. Indeed I can meet many new people over a week, but it can happen that I know nobody during a month.

I often meet people.When i am on the trip i meet different people. We often became good friends.

when I take my son to park, gathering, event and ets, I frequently meet new people.

In my case it is difficult to meet new people because I spend a lot of time in my work and there I don´t have the opportunity to join with others only with my mates. Even though I'll like to join with different groups.

I don't meet people frequently because I don't travel a lot. But sometimes at work I meet poeple.
