How often do you meet new people?
I hardly ever meet new people.
To be honest, it's hard for me to meet new people, I'm afraid to talk and I stutter :(
I met a new people two time in a week for english call
When you get older, it becomes difficult to meet new people. But I always try to be a social and open person. There's no need to wait for someone else to be open, sometimes that person can be you. Even if it's just small talk. It still matters.
I don't meet so many new people and I feel that's more comfortbile
I am a shy person ,so I do not meet new people , but I hope to meet nice and friendly people
I often meet new people at university, and when I had English classes, I met a lot of nice people there who have same interests.
I usually meet new people because Iam a social person .:)))
I am asocial and shy, so I rarely meet new people. .:(
I don't often meet new people because I work in a school.
I usually have friends in my house
