Do you talk to strangers?

I love talking to strangers. Most of the times I start the conversations. Im quite happy to talk to everybody, the postman, the security guy, the guy in the supermarket... Thats just me!!

I talk to strangers all the time and I can't explain why since I am basically a quiet person. I used to be extremely shy and wouldn't talk to anyone, but I have become quite different and like people and like to strike up conversations with others over just anything. Sometimes I get strange looks from others but other times the other person seems willing to talk to me as well.

Normally i will not start the conversation.I donot make relationship very fast.it is my charecter.But if i am lonely and nothing to do then I may start the conversation.thanks subha

It depends,if I am waiting in a long queue,someone starts to talk to me,I would like to talk back to him/her and begin with the upcoming coversation.It's a good way to kill the dull and boring time.Sometimes you have to talk with strangers to ask for directions or any help.

I talk to strangers only when i have to, like in asking for directions. I'd wait for strangers to start the conversation before i answer. but in social situations like parties and such, i'm more inclined to talk to people and more likely to join in a conversation i can relate with. I guess i'm just a bit too wary of total strangers...

yes when i meet someone i don't know i talk to them so i won't be a stranger to them anymore that way we can hang out because if i didn't then i wouldn't have friends

I didn't do it when I was younger I was afraid but I do now, I like to talk to people especially older people, and they are usually the people who talk to me as well.

I don't like to talk to strangers as I am afraid of the security. I usually will talk to a stranger when I am lost. I love China

it depends... if it is a lady - i might initiate the conversation... also depends on what she is doing at the time... if she is already occupied with her own thing.. like reading, or has a earphone plugged into her ear.. i wont say anything... but if i see that she too may be bored and looking for someone to chat with.. i i always carry a book or magazine with just in case i cant 'chat' with anyone...

Dear subha12 In general want to talk with any unknown person/stranger at any queue or anywhere.Is it not a foolish to talk with stranger to whom I do not know. I am very much introvert and not to indulge myself in others arena unless until I asked to comments. If the stranger ask me to comment on any topic I simply avoid it . If he simply introduce himself and start conversation then you will have to think twice before discussing or talking any thing as we do not know anything about the stranger . pkc3000

hi subha12, honestly, i don't usually start a conversation with a stranger unless i need to really ask something important. i just try to be careful cause we don't know people now a days.. it can be good or bad. if they show a sign that they are just friendly then i talk to them but i try not to be trusting at once. if i feel something is unusual with the stranger, i don't start a conversation with them. i am friendly but to a certain extent. God bless!

hello subha12, i often meet strangers at the mall or back then at the bus/train/airplane, bookstore and i honestly dont know who starts who. i am not a fan of judging a person as i know not all represent what they look physically so i just talk and listen when they talk. it is my way of understanding human and a great way to meet new friends too. i guess mylot is like that too, we are all strangers here but we communicate (talk) once we respond to a discussion. btw, i talk more with kids or babies coz i find them more fun hehe. if you are talking about statistic as well, i have to admit i talk more to men than women and grannies than mid age ones. hope i answer your question, how about you? takecare!

i never initiate conversations with strangers, and don't really like it when they start talking to me. i know that sounds harsh and i will talk to someone if they start talking to me-i'm never rude or anything like that. but it has been my experience that people usually don't really have anything to say other than to talk about the weather or to talk about themselves and their problems. one time i was waiting for my friend to get off work and was sitting in a waiting area when a customer came in and started talking to me about her fight with another company. my friend's co-workers made a comment about how i had made a friend. my friend told them "she's probably sitting there wondering 'why is this person talking to me'" so funny. she knows me so well!

with me it has everything about the kind of vibes i get from people around me.don't call me a psyched out person yet but it is true.if i feel positive and safe around someone i do start conversing with them and go full flow too.i had to commute for an hour from my home to college everyday so i would get in the habit of conversing with people sitting with me.but also i have tried to avoid people who i'm not confident about.

I have really never had a problem talking to strangers. And most people like to talk.LOL Im usually the one to start talking to strangers.

Hi dear subha, I am always the one who starts the conversation while waiting in a long queue. I would like to talk to a stranger if I feel that he is a friendly guy. Chatting with someone harmoniously could kill the boring time easily.

I always answer questions from strangers but I always end it up by making myself busy! I don't indulge myself in a very long conversation with them, it's not easy to judge whether they are good or bad, and we also can't tell in their face or physical appearance so better to be careful!

I never talk to stangers, only if i needed something to know and i find a person beside me, i do go and talk to him/her regarding my doubt, if not inever make any attempts to have a conversation with any 1 just like that...

Depends on the situation i am in, if i am in a hurry and things are getting late, i wil for sure talk to the person infront of me and will explain him the situation. I prefer getting things done at a quick pace . If there is nothing i am in hurry, the queue is long then i will start conversation to just kill some time and not to get bored with the long waitings. What ever i talk is with in content and i dont need to judge a person as long as the person doesnt get too personal or irritating. i know my ways to skip a converstaion when i am not interested anymore.

I like to talk to strangers but I don't usually start conversing with them, except in a social situation. When a stranger starts talking to me I am happy to join in the conversation. If I am in a queue I may make a comment and if it encourages someone to talk we can continue with the conversation, but if they just nod and say no more I won't try to keep them talking.
