When I first meet people, I introduce myself, but I tend to be shy at first. However, I'm always willing to help if they need it. Once I get to know them better, I become more open and less shy. I start sharing things like my hobbies, where I'm from, my favorite foods, my dream job, and what activities I'm currently involved in, among other things.
I am a student from Indonesia, when i meet people i will introduce myself, introducing myself is friendly and welcoming. Then starting with a warm greeting sets a positive tone for the conversation. Bringing up a range of topics like jobs, hobbies, and favorite foods is a good strategy. It allows for flexibility and helps find common ground with the other person
I usually ask them about their job, personal interests, family and movies.
