Are you good with people?
Speak as Mike
Speak as Beth
Beth: No, I am not good with people, but I wish I were.
Mike: Why do you say that you are not good with people?
Beth: Because I get shy and feel uncomfortable around new people. I am fine when I am with my family and friends, but I don't feel comfortable doing things like talking to people I don't know at a party.
Mike: I get what you mean.
Beth: I wish I were more like my sister. She is a real people person.
Mike: How so?
Beth: She can make friends with anybody. She will start talking to random people on the bus or subway and by the time she gets off, she and the person will be friends.
Mike: That's incredible. I wish I could do that.
