Do you really enjoy meeting new people?

[Anonymous]

Do you actively try to make new friends or just stick to the same group or groups of friends? I’m finding it’s not that easy to make new friends.

No. I'm an introvert. That's a lot of energy to use up.

I have young kids so I meet new moms and dads all the time. But, most of the time, the only thing we have in common is a shared love of our kids. I'd enjoy meeting new people more if I met more people based on mutual, non-kid related interests.

I love to meet new people but I don’t want to be friends.

It’s hard to even keep up relationships with existing friends. That takes too much energy. I like meeting new people but am not looking to develop any deep friendships from casual interactions.

not really, have all the friends I need.

Id like a few friends but don't like meeting new people as they rarely, if ever become friends.

[Anonymous]

no, I am good on friends

[Anonymous]

Yes, I enjoy meeting all types of people. We are all more similar than one thinks.

I hate new large groups of people.

But I really like meeting new people one on one. I truly believe there is something to be learned from everyone. I don’t go into meeting a new person with the hope of making a new close friend, but rather to learn something new about the world or other’s experiences.

Meeting new people usually doesn't lead to any kind of relationship or development of more than superficial knowledge of the person.

Meeting new people is not the same as making new friends. If you’re talking about the latter, yes, I’m always open to connecting with someone I really click with and having more casual social networks. I have plenty of friends, including a few very close ones, but that doesn’t preclude making new ones.

I find new people are mostly boring and tiring, they don't listen and they ask the same questions when they hear my accent. It has not been interesting to have that conversation for 40 years.

Rarely there's a dazzling outlier however, and I really enjoy those meetings, however brief they turn out to be.

I love making new friends. But I want boundaries. I’m not trying to hang out everyday or every weekend but meeting up every once and a while, sure.

I don’t mind meeting new folks. But I hate when they are snotty and cliquish.
