Same for me too! At first, it's awkward because I'm shy and tend to look down at my feet or twiddling my thumbs. But it all depends on who's surrounding me. If I am by other close friends, I tend to be more open, just because I'm surrounded by people I know and that'd have my back.
You know, just in case the new kid/friend happened to be a mass serial killer. xD But if I'm all alone and meeting some new, i'm shy and insecure.=P ^^ mass serial killer. =]
