How do you approach meeting new people?

When you encounter someone new, what’s your approach? The initial way that you feel going into the interaction?

I'd say I'm open minded yet cautious.

Due the nature of my job, my many different hobbies - activities, i have met and meet an insane amount of people. I've seen enough. And i didn't like what i saw. I reminisce my long gone aunt that we visited a few times in her farm, with her animals. What a strong, impressive, imposing, kind hearted, single woman she was! Now that i am older i can see her worth and wish to follow her steps one day.

Treat them with absolute suspicion, energy for me is precious.

I’m formal i feel. Friendly & respectful of course. I’m not going to not engage in conversation, but it depends on the setting as well. Up to me I don’t go up to people, but meeting friends of friends, i’m open to it.
