Talk to strangers?

I'm a lil bit reserved - but for the most part, I say hi to most people that I pass by in the neighborhood , on my runs.walks whatever. However, I don't start random conversations with people if I'm at a grocery or whatever. I would say hi if they acknowledge me though. My bf on the other hand - loves to talk to people!! That guy knows everything and everyone! It's ridiculous. And yes, we're just opposites, i'm a introvert - he's an extrovert.

I talk to strangers sometimes when I see them as decent like a woman or children, an older man or woman who need to ask for a direction. I entertain them, usually in a crowded places or with the public. But, If I am alone in a new place. I never talk to strangers if I my friends or relatives never know her or him directly. My reasons is to protect my privacy and to get away from bad elements.

i often talk to strangers because of the nature of my job. i don't mind connecting with them since i feel that it's a need to acquaint some stuffs from all walks of life.as long as i see that i don't get harm from them then i won't worry from talking to them. i just talk casual and don't share important info about myself. it's also nice hearing opinions from people we seldom see and meet.

I ALWAYS take some time before i talk to some one.i am a little reserved person.i have lot of friends.but i made friendship after some time.

i easily respond to greetings from security guards or the employees of the mall. my sibling once commented that i do not have to greet them back but personally i feel bad when i do not respond to them. i always put myself in their shoes. and i think it makes them feel good when people respond to their greetings. besides there is nothing wrong with that..
