people person

Loves meeting strangers

A people person is someone who enjoys and thrives on social interaction—naturally gregarious, at ease in conversation, and energized rather than drained by being around others.

The term often appears in job descriptions and self-descriptions: I'm a real people person.

It contrasts implicitly with those who prefer solitude or find socializing taxing.
