| the people always come to me lol |
 |
| I'll second that, if the person appears to have the same interests as me I get nervous as fuck. |
| I've been here way too long... |
| i suck at it too so lets be friends |
| I'm not very good with the first meeting, usually really quiet but people seem to like me after hanging out a few times. I guess I'm really good at becoming friends with my friends' friends but not going out of my way to become friends with complete strangers. |

| I'm absolutely terrible at it. I consistently try to avoid talking to people I don't know just because I predict that I won't be able to sustain a conversation. Hell, I even have that problem with my friends. |
| anime club yo But yeah, I'm not good at finding people without clubs and stuff. |
| I'm pretty terrible imo I'm never the one to take initiative and they are either waiting for me to do smth or they think I just don't care about them while in reality I'm just shy and I don't want to get denied T.T However, if someone takes the initiative and starts talking with me, I easily get into good conversations. |
| nope :C and i also find it really hard to befriend others, usually it doesn't happen without the person approaching me first. |
 |
| Act normal and do not try too hard, or should I say, do not care at all. Chances are you'll never see them again. If the two of you happened to have something interesting to talk about then seize on that. But that does not work if you're a girl though. They'd just think you're a bitch trying to act high and mighty. |
Haruhi ism  It's fun, isn't it? |
| Nope, but I still usually manage to befriend them. |
 |
| No idea. |
☕ Truth be told, I'm quite proud of my house blend. To attain my flavor and fragrance, I use five different types of coffee beans. ☕ |
| nope, I feel really awkward around them |
| only if they approach me cause this means they're interested and it means they'll cut me more slack and be more acceptable until i can finally bloom in front of them and be more or less myself to some 'friend' level |
lots of music -  |
| just find something to talk about with them, OP. in order words, let them talk about themselves. and from there, you can bring up topics which are of interest to both of you. if no mutual interest is found, then ask them how a certain thing they're familiar with works; be a curious student and they will gladly teach you about it. not only do you learn something new, but you will also find yet another person who describes you as a "charming and interesting young man." |

otakuloserperson said: I fucking suck at this. I mean anyone can introduce themselves to someone, but how are you at maintaining conversation and interest with people you're not familiar with? Start with something really mundane and then ask a few questions to find where your common interests are. Conversations usually arise out of very simple beginnings, and tend to flow naturally with people you have commonalities with. But be careful not to turn it into an interview, or try to force conversation. If things just aren't working, politely dismiss yourself. |
| Its always really awkward for me since i never know what to say and im not comforatable around people i do not know well |

| I am shy at first but then I warm up to them. |

| I prefer not to meet new people but if I do I just say hi and what my name is. |
| Nope, in real life I'm absolutely terrible at meeting new people. Never have been good at it and probably never will be. On the internet, however, I do have a much easier time meeting new people. Though, I still wouldn't say I'm the best at it. I think as far maintaining conversations goes, it gets hard when the other person isn't a good conversationalist. Otherwise, if one can find something to spark good conversation it's not all too hard. Or at least on the internet I don't think it is as much. Although, on the internet it actually can get hard, I suppose, because sometimes it's easy misinterpret what the other person is saying or how they're coming across. Like, in real life you have body language, tone of voice, and so forth. With the internet you don't have any of that. |

now playing :: tides of man - keep me safe  |
| yup (n_n) |
| It's pretty easy to meet new people. Though, I don't go out of my way to meet people in general. |
  |
| No. I don't talk unless I'm spoken to. I'm not interested in talking to people, unless they somehow have the same kind of interests as I do. |
| No, I never do the first step. |
| yeah |
 |
| Just about average I think. |
 |
| I'm actually really good at this, i either compliment the person on something they're wearing or i will tell them they look like someone I know, I meet most of my friends ths way. |
| -people die if they are killed- |
| i introduce myself first then wait for em to start the conversation, if they did and it's interesting then i talk to them, otherwise i just smile at them |
| Yeah, I'd say I'm pretty good. I feel like it's a lot easier for me to meet new people if they are in a group. I put myself at a disadvantage, but I approach them with confidence and get to know them equally. Best way to do it is at a pub. Just approach a bunch of interesting people and say Hello. |
 |
| No, cuz I'm really shy ;__; |
 |
| yes i think so |
| I'm not good at approaching people, but I'm very good at talking/keeping a conversation going if someone approaches me or I'm out with someone I don't know very well. I think I have pretty good social skills. I'm naturally very shy, but through work and going out I've kind of gotten over a lot of that and learned how to push myself to be social. |
| I pretend to like everyone I talk to. Eventually I find out what they like, then carry on by conversation by ad-libbing and improvising on the topic, usually one I know nothing about. A life of pretense is necessary for me to engage in social interactions. Yes, I'm pretty good at meeting new people. |
| Sieg Zeon! |
| it's literally one of the things i am best at. i can hold a conversation with anybody. i don't always enjoy it but i'm good at asking people question and making them kinda.. open up to me lol most of my best friends are really introverted people but they say that being with me is really comfortable and that they can literally confess anything to me. the easiest thing when you want to try talking to strangers is talking about your own passion. i'm a very passionate person and people have told me time and time again that they could listen to me talk for hours because i just.. get really happy and my eyes start to twinkle and all lmao.. so yeah.. talking to strangers is easy if you open yourself up a bit. makes it easier for other people to do the same. :) i'd rather talk about my passion than about the damn weather. |
 |
| I can be mad chill with evry1 |
| No. |
 |
| I'm not so great with starting conversation so that's my downfall when it comes to meeting new people Once I get started though, it's impossible to stop me. I just need to get comfortable first |
 |
| Hell nah. I'm not even good at meeting people on MAL. |
