What's the best way to not get anxious when meeting new people?

I've found curiosity to be a wonderful remedy for any anxiety when meeting someone new. I want to know what this new person is like - how they think, what they feel, why they are the way they are. For me, this replaces anxiety with a kind of excitement, and makes the whole thing an exciting experience. As a bonus, people generally love when others are interested in them, and it can lead to further relationships with them!

imagine something that is not as intimidating such as meeting animals or if you dont like animals think of something that makes you happy drawimg, singing, sports, daqncing, games,etc.

I get very anxious when meeting new people. I normally find that developing a routine or a tradition helps combat the new people feeling. I personally like to take deep breaths, make a fist and press my fingers really hard. Sometimes I also play with the helm of t shirts. I just like to do small unnoticeable actions that help me out. Maybe try one of these and tell me if they work out?? I hope I helped

The best way to not get anxious when meeting new people by taking deep breathes, understanding you're trying something new that you never did, that others will be willing to open up and is happy to meet you for the very first time.

When I'm meeting new people I always have something I can fidget with in my hand or in my pocket. I also use humor in my conversation(s). You need to see what works best for you. I know sometimes I have to concentrate on my breathing or heartbeat to help relax me. If there's a conversation happening I find listening instead of just jumping in helps. Try different techniques that work for you. I also do a lot of self reflecting on what it is that could be causing the anxiety. Is it meeting people? Is it the crowd? I've got to narrow it down and try to find what helps to keep me calm. I hope some of these suggestions that work for me can help you as well.

When meeting new people, I try to be warm and non-judgmental. I find that this helps ease any preconceived notions that the interaction might be stressful or uncomfortable. I ask a lot of open-ended questions to promote them talking which gives me a chance to listen and get comfortable. Sometimes making eye-contact, and reminding myself of how valuable and important I am, helps me to overcome anxiety. At one point, I struggled a great deal with anxiety and turned to therapy and group therapy to learn to deal with social anxiety. When I joined a group therapy, I found myself saying, "I am anxious." I got a lot of warm support for being open about anxiety with others. I found that a lot of people struggle with anxiety and talking about it gave it less power.

The best way is trying to be honest and hope they like you, if they dont then they are missing that amaizing person you are.

The best way to not get anxious when metting new people is accepting that feeling. It is very hard to stop feeling something, but you always can try to understand those feelings/emotions and maybe why are you experiencing them. It becomes easier to control something you accept/understand than something you reject.

The best way is to approach them knowing they're human just like you, take some complete deep breaths.

Be yourself. That is the best you can be. People should accept you for who you are. It can be scary meeting new people however those new people could becomes very significant figures in your life. Keep an open mind,always!
