Do you like meeting new people?
Absolute no !!
I’m a shy and introverted person.
During the COVID 19 lockdown, I spent a lot of time in my home and I was a happy man.
In spite of the confinement my family and I used the time perfectly, studying online, cooking, doing homework and even I repaired some stuff (handyman).
As conclusion I do not like meet new people.

I really like meeting more people. Even more so now that I am learning the English language, it would be amazing to meet native people.
