Paris Hilton finds it hard meeting new people

Paris Hilton has revealed she finds it hard meeting new people.

The 27-year-old socialite -- who's on the hunt for a new best friend in MTV show 'Paris Hilton's My New BFF' -- said, "It is hard meeting new people. Most of my friends I've had my entire life, like obviously my sister (Nicky) and Nicole Richie have been with me forever.

"So when I meet new people, I'm always a little wary of the reason they may want to become my friend."

She added: "I can usually just tell by when we're out in public and there's paparazzi around, I see, you know, who gets a little bit too excited or whatever. I can tell how those people are."

Paris' new show, which begins newt month, sees the hotel heiress audition an array of candidates desperate to become her new 'BFF'.
