Yes I like meeting new people. I think it is the good opportunity to find out and have new friends. I am quite shy than a like when my friends are with me and they can introduce me to the people in the meeting...

I'm an introvert. So, I don't like meeting new people. But I'll try to say these words when I meet new people.

Yes, I like meet new people, but I'm introvert, so it's hard for me to talk
