Same. I'm really awkward when meeting new people.
I also get pretty freaked out by large groups of people, so
that might be connected.
Though I'm really sociable once I know people.

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.

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.

Awkward silences are generally a good sign. The worst thing is a one sided conversation. From a sociable guy perspective.

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

I've met many people for the first time and have showed a good first impression.

So Yes I'm excellent at relating and making conversation.

Behold of my awesomeness~
controversial and/or sensitive topics likely devolve into the same repetitive, derogatory, abusive, and harassing comments can no longer be posted.

I'm talkative and friendly, so I do pretty well, but the lack of common interests is often an hindrance, especially towards male groups, because I have no interest in sports, motors and such.

Well, the problem for me is the exact opposite than most people here. I'm a cross between Yuri from Angel Beats and Misaki from Sakurasou, both of which, are crazy and I like to drag random people to random things XD. Hey, if I'm going insane, might as well drag a few with me! ;)

Hmm, I guess I am? I can maintain a decent conversation with anyone as long as we both have atleast one common topic to talk about. I'm not that particularly good at small talk, sadly.

It's a learned skill.. You have to be quick and witty and all together fascinating.

Really, if your life is boring AF then you'll be boring AF and there's nothing to talk about.

Live a little, have some adventures, and you'll be cocktail party ready.

It completely depends on the situation and the other people.
I can't explain it, but sometimes I barely can open my mouth and dream of earth swalllowing me, and sometimes I chat like with an old friend. I guess it's the atmosphere or something that makes me either nervous or brave.

It's called liquid courage, colloquially.

Well, that largely depends on who the person is. If it's someone I have nothing in common with and met randomly, chances are I'll have a hard time to get a proper conversation going. If it's someone I've met through work or common interests, though, then I find it relatively easy, since there's usually something you can build your discussion upon.

Oh, thanks for comin up a term to explain it!
(although, I first read it as a "liqueur" courage and thought that it fits too, after drinkin a little courage you are definitely in more brave mood)

I don't have many problems, between university, my yoga classes and the occasional evening at a bar, I have a lot of opportunities to meet new people. I guess I'm pretty selective when it comes to chose which people I want to interact with though. I can't really start small talking or open up with anyone when I'm not really feeling the connection. It's hard to describe.
I try to be polite though when someone comes at me at starts a conversation. I wouldn't want to make the whole situation awkward.

Its a skill that can be practiced over time. Personally, i will not take the initiative because the initiator usually expend the most effort in the conversation. Being the usual lazybones i am, i can't be bothered and just sit back while enjoying the blissful silence instead.

During high school I used to start conversations with random hot girls in the bus every week. It was fun.

I have no problems with it, but now I don't like it anymore.
Actually I hate socializing ...

Most people are probably the same unless you're an extrovert.
I don't get why it's an insult though.

I know that O_o when I said extrovert I meant those 51-100% extroverted people so that they would only fall to one category unless they're exactly 50 IV-50 EV (now, this is what I consider in-between). Do you get what I mean? sorry, I'm not good at explaining.

Somewhat?

I stopped counting the number of first dates and my job involves one-on-one meetings with people I've never met

So at the very least I have a degree of experience, no idea if I'm good at it

Np, I got the idea. I guess I just don't like to categorize people like that cuz it feels too black and white :/ It's mostly gray, you know 50 shades of them XDD so basically I believe in proportion rather than categorization ;)

I kinda get what you mean cause lumping them in just one category won't probably be hundred percent true. I just thought there are things that can only be answered with yes or no and why/how will only follow after. And most of the time you won't have the chance to explain so you'll just resort to saying a single word or phrase. Ahhh..nvm me T_T

It's holding the conversation that is difficult for me. I really hate that awkward silence that happen after a little chat. My mind would think hard about what to say and most if not all the time, I couldn't think of anything.
