“I love meeting new people”, says everyone who wants to appear friendly and open-minded.

But what most people actually mean is: I love meeting new cool people.

Consider this:
That arrogant, condescending boss in your new job qualifies as a new person.
Your loud mouth, next-door neighbor who just moved in? Part of the new people.
That demanding client you just acquired? Yep, still part of that group.

If you like meeting new people, don’t be selective. Welcome all sorts of people. Good, bad, better, worst. Try to see what you can learn from them – about humanity, or about yourself.
