hello all,

do you seek new people? if you're contented with your social circle, you could very understandbly not just NOT seek people, but hope people don't seek you.

so, then, do you like being approached by strangers, by future friends? do you like the process of getting to know people?

I do!! At least in my head.. I don’t think it translates well when I actually try to act on it. I have been told that whenever people talk to me, it seems as though I don’t want to talk to them… or want to end the conversation as soon as possible. Which sucks!! Because I do want people to approach me, to talk to me, to be my friend, to get to know each other!! But alas… I am not that great at holding conversations and talking to new people and allat :(.

I like talking to people no matter who it is but it genuinely does depend on how I feel at the time😭😭 there are certain times where I feel so happy and energized I start talking to everybody around me then the other half where I just wanna isolate myself all in all on the times where I am in the mood to talk to people I enjoy every second of it! I love meeting and learning about other people it brings me so much joy

in a sense.. i love talking to people, but i'm not very interested in building connections. i often seek people though! i talk to like everyone. back in the days when i had internet and car keys i talked to absolutely everyone i saw..
so i guess i am content with my social circle. i don't have many people who i'm friends with, but i make up for it by having many one-time conversations in my daily life

In the not-so-distant past I had crippling social anxiety so I did not often seek people out despite having the desire to. Now, I am intentionally more reserved and only attempt to get to know new people with they've truly piqued my interest and we're on the same wavelength; otherwise, I am generally satisfied with my current circle of friends.

I am not necessarily fond of the process of getting to know others unless there is sufficient reciprocation. Aside from that, I have very frequent social burn out so I'm not always proactive as I'd like to be!

I like befriending new people. I also just generally enjoy seeing how people different to me are and how I can learn from them. I like going to things like parties and social gatherings. I struggle fairly often talking to NT people but a lot of my extroversion comes out when I'm talking to fellow ND/Autistic people!

yes i very much seek new people, i like being approached most of the time! and yes i like the process of getting to know people

I love the process of getting to know people! it helps understand how really different people are from eachother in their own unique way!, I love making new friends and learning about them so much its so fun!!
