often in my work I meet a lot new people , that is because type of my work . i have coffee shop this is my work , people coming to my shops to drink coffe or to watching football matches , there is a lot of nois in the shop .

I always meet people. I like meet people of diferent culture and talking about everythings

This is change. When I was working I was meeting so many people. But Now I am in Corona days. So I can not meet people.

Sometimes I meet new people online, especially through Facebook and Instagram. They are people who have some friends in common with me or people that work in the same place as me. It is good to meet new people in order to expand your friend circle and maybe start doing something new or different.

I rarely meet new people I am dissociable person

Unofortunately no. Now I'm sitting all day home because of corona breakdown. Before this disaster It still could happen.

I always meet a new person

This happens regularly, but now during the corona it is a little bit so hard.

It's difficult for me to answer the similar question accurately. Indeed I can meet many new people over a week, but it can happen that I know nobody during a month.

I often meet people.When i am on the trip i meet different people. We often became good friends.
