    That's such a fun title, in't it?

    Anyway, when you meet someone new, are you yourself? Are you as open with your personality as you are with people you've known for months, years, or even decades? Do you shy away a little bit to the person you're meeting? Do you blend in with their personality by adapting your own to better suit a compatible friendship? How do you feel about meeting new people, anyway? Is it a fun experience, or a terrifying one?
     
    I am terrified of meeting/talking to anyone I haven't met before. But once I get to know them I come out of my shell and become the crazy, exuberant person that I am! I am such a turtle. :3
     
    Not to say terrifying, but I come out of my shell eventually...
     
    Whilst I'm incredibly shy and find it hard to talk to new people, I act as myself. It's something I noticed during our first four months in Halls; everybody acted nicer than they actually were, then their true personalities bled through and all hell broke loose. I couldn't see the point of acting differently to impress people, so I just acted my normal dorky self and if they didn't like it then I didn't bother to get to know them.

    I hate meeting new people. I get nervous and I don't know what to say, and then when I do say something I freak them out, or make them angry.
     
    When its a girl i dunno i try too but its been a while so i dunno. When i meet a guy yeah i usually am myself. Such is life heh.
     
    I rarely am the one to start a conversation with a new person unless they're new people. When someone talks to me, I try to be as nice as possible and avoid arbitrary jokes until we've gotten to know each other a little better. I typically don't need the person I'm friends with to have the same personality, viewpoints or interests, but rather, usually it's having similar thought processes that my friends and I share.
     
    I am definitely shy when meeting with new people. In fact, most of my classmates/acquaintances think I either don't talk, or I don't talk often. :x It's only my friends whom I have grown close to who realize my true personality. Sometimes I try to be a little more active, but it's kind of hard. So, yeah, meeting new people is something I'm not good at: they have to be the one to talk to me, not the other way around. :/
     
    No, I don't act myself. I won't blend my personality to suit the person, I'm just paranoid and don't trust people that I don't know. Sometimes not even with people I've known for a long time, it depends on who it is.
    I get nervous meeting new people that are my own age, but not so much that I have trouble talking to them. I'm fine talking to people that are either younger or older than me though.
     
    I am shy and awkward around everyone, and when I get to know a person, I become less shy, but remain awkward. It's neither a horrible nor an exciting experience.
     
    When I first meet someone new I ease them into my personality. I'm just not comfortable being my 100% self with someone I don't know too well. Once I get to know them and I feel like it's okay to be myself then I'm fine.

    Overall I HATE meeting new people. I'm really shy when it comes to people I don't know. So it can be a really uneasy situation for me. If I never met anyone new though I wouldn't have many friends so I realize it's just something you have to do and get over.
     
    I'm still outgoing and open and stuff, but I tend to be a little shier. It just depends on my mood when I'm meeting them and who I'm meeting I guess.
     
    New people, I'm scared to death. I always get nervous and start to fidget. But when I get over that, we talk like we've known each other for years. ;)
     
    I'm actually a bit more outgoing than I used to be, irl. Online, I'm like, everywhere at once it seems. I make a lot of new friends on here. I have more online friends than I do irl friends! XD;;

    ...I need to get a job. :(
     
    When I meet a new person I'm utterly terrified. :[ I'm anti-social, and extremely shy, so I have a hard time speaking. It takes months for me to be myself around a person.

    It's not that I'm nervous being around them. It's me worried that when I say something, or act a certain way, they'll automatically hate me.

    I even have a hard time talking to someone here on the forums. Because my mind-set is always tuned to: "No one likes you. Don't speak to them. Just keep to your retarded self." So it's a very long process for me to be normal around someone... :[
     
    I just act like myself, I suppose; I'm a bit weird, sure, but I don't think it's weird enough to hide it to new people.

    ...I think I act as I usually do, anyway. o_O I haven't met a lot of new people in awhile. How sad is that?
