I Am Not Good At Meeting New People

This is getting so difficult, I just turned bloody 40! and it seems like nothing has changed since I was a very lonely teenager. For some periods in life I managed to have some friends, then they would move or I would move, and I am...

Just like that innocent until proven guilty, if you are new you are hated until proven i like you. I am just on guard all the time. but if i see something i like in you then it will go away.

the biggest problem that i face while meeting new people is best described by Pink Floyd song "Lost for words".I don't know wht to say to someone i don't know or for dat matter meeting 4 da 1st tym.....maybe i m too worried of...

i used to be very outgoing and i had many friends in highschool. but my freshman and sophomore years i drank heavily. i guess that was a big contributor to why i had so many friends.

i'm often nervous around new people, but i've found that i am much less nervous if the people i'm meeting have got open and outgoing personalities.

I have a really problem when talking to people face to face
in the uni. my writing exams are perfect but my face to face exams are awful 

I'm so shy when it comes to meeting new people it's pathetic.   I'm too shy to approach someone I don't know and I never know what to say...I usually just blend into the background or hold the wall up... 

I noticed most of the stories here are about being shy when talking to people. I don't get shy much unless it's someone I admire or feel inadequate in comparison, like my mother-in-law.

You see, I've been struggling to make some girl...

i absolutely hate meeting new people. i get so anxious...whats weird is that i loooove being social. i love to go out and have fun. the mall, the bar, walmart (kidding)

I say that I am not good at meeting new people because I am, but sometimes I am
not shy around certain people. I think it has more to do with their role in my life.
If it's in class, I will probably only speak to the person if we...
