The moment I left my job, I had an opportunity to meet my neighbors and new friends, and recently I hosted a party and invited many people who are living in the neighborhood and we were happy to see each other.

I really rarely meet new people. I’m introverted. I don’t go out much now; so I guess when I went to high school I met more people often.
