Im wondering what are the three best skills in fallout new vegas and traits to pick when starting? Thank you if you respond? This is my first time on a forum....

Definitely need speech, barter, lockpick. Speech is a huge one and prob most important. Then repair and science I think.

Strength depends on how much weigh you can carry and it will bug you how quickly you get over to heavy.
Luck, charisma and strength were a big one for me

Depends, what do you think your playstyle will be?

If you need examples, here's some: Sniper, Run and Gun, Tactician/Strategist, Passive, and Brawler.

Thanks but like what traits should i pick wild wasteland, good natured, etc...

I'd suggest taking Good Natured. You'll probably stick to one weapon type or two at most so getting +5 to Barter, Medicine, Repair, Science, and Speech is a good trade. For the other trait I usually take Wild Wasteland. Perks really depend on your character. If you want to plan ahead you can go look about the perks on the http://fallout.wikia.com/wiki/Fallout:_New_Vegas_perks.

Four Eyes and Wild Wasteland.
FE adds 1 to your PER if your wearing glases but -1 if you not. Wear any glasses and a hat and your +2 PER straight from the start.
Take Speech, Guns, Lockpick
Perks you can decide youself since its your experience and mine are always random
