I meet the same problem vs I encounter the same problem

These are both acceptable phrases, but they would be used in dissimilar contexts. 'I meet the same problem' is less common and might sound a bit awkward. 'I encounter the same problem' is more commonly used and sounds more natural. It is better to use 'encounter' when talking about facing or coming across a problem.
