In my job i meet offten new people, usually stakeholders and people that we collaborate. There are people who i saw them once, and people who i have work for a long time together, I'm trying always to be friendly and polite with them.

When i step out of the house i get to meet some of my neighbours but these days even that is not possible due to the current situation.

i sometimes meet new people in my work place... bxz i have worked a bank that so many people come to in my office and borrow money...for this reason i meet new people. although i would like to meet foriegn people that they come from onther country. bxz i know new culture, new language, new ideas it can help me to know better our world....

I rarely meet people . It's difficult to get job through days so I still stay at home until now.

sometimes, because I don't go out and I'm afraid to talk to strangers

I usually meet new people. When I go to supermarket, go to new class or go on street.

I used to meet with new people last 2 years ago because I was a researcher and conducted to survey with many new people. At the moment, I'm staying at my home due to the global pandemic virus, so I cannot meet people.

I meet new people more often.

Hi! I meet people frequently because of my job. I have to teach people and i have differents groups every month. Regards, AM
