Hmmm, with new people, I'm generally cautious. I suppose I wait and watch to see what intent they may carry, how they seem to react to me. I'm usually polite, but quiet. It can take a while for me to get used to a new person, or get a feel for who they are. Not always though. Sometimes, they may break ice, and find common ground, in those cases I tend to relax and not be so quiet and guarded.

I find that I need to be in an honest, open environment, that's where I tend to do best. Where there is no cloak and dagger, no reason to be guarded, over worried or on edge.
