How do you feel about people who are to friendly?

I think that a lot of people who are like that are trying to make themselves less nervous in whatever situation they're in by talking to the people around them who are obviously in the same, or at least similar, situations to them. I don't really like it when people talk to you when you're waiting for something, as it becomes awkward when you have nothing to say to them at the end of the conversation and you have to sit in silence. It is then even more awkward than when you just weren't talking in the first place.

Haven't you heard about Don't talk to strangers? I have experienced such several times and I would always feel awkward that they're spilling their beans on me. However, I do not do the same, I never do. I don't think it's appropriate at any given time to start divulging in a conversation with someone you don't really know. Perhaps they're just phishing for your information and you're giving it to them easily. I never give my full name, perhaps I'd give my first name but never my surname, I just dont't think it's necessary. I guess I would just keep the conversation short and just answer the question at hand but never something too personal. If the person still is insistent on knowing me better, perhaps I would do something to end the conversation - I could lie and say that I'll be going off for a very important agenda I forgot. If they would ask for my number, I probably would just give them my pseudo number (the number that I have that I don't often use). I believe there is always a right time for everything. I don't think that knowing a person for the first time gives the person the right to know about my whole life. I could remember one particular person my boyfriend and I know. He told me that particular person started bad mouthing their co-worker to someone he just met. It was pretty awkward in the end when he found out that the person he was bad mouthing the co worker with was actually good friends with that co-worker. Have a great MyLot experience today!

This rarely happens to me: I don't know why. I have a strong presence perhaps, and this attracts kindly looks from others; but rarely conversation. I may not look the chatting type. I'm a bit of a loner. And yet I see it go on...folks who may or may not know each other conducting warm conversations in public. Sometimes, someone might exchange a few friendly words with me, and I'm flattered and respond very nicely. But the convos rarely last long. But they can make me feel good inside. That degree of human contact. It can mean a lot to me.

I am one of those people that other people tend to open up to and tell their entire life history to. I am a very good listener. I have had this happen to me often. I am always careful not to share my own information with them but I do listen to them and even prompt them to tell me more if I think they are going to try to get into my business. I worked in the mental health field for a long time so being a good listener was part of my job. As far as it being appropriate or inappropriate that depends on what is being discussed. If a person is going into details that I do not want to hear I will let them know that I am not interested and guide them to other details of the conversation.

I haven't encountered a person who is overly friendly. I myself is a friendly by nature. In such a situation, i would start a conversation about general discussions but not give any information about myself, such as the name etc. I just try to make the waiting bearable if i have read all the magazines therein. so i would start a conversation. As for other friendly people, i just listen to them and maybe put some inputs every now and then.

Well if they are not too nosy about my personal life, I think it's fine. I do join the conversation and talk about opinions but I would limit it to that. I do not very much like to talk about my personal life with some stranger but if they can't stop talking about theirs, I don't mind

I find it awkward and it would be annoying if I'm not really in the mood for chatting. I don't mind strangers talking to me at times about things in general when I'm waiting for something or someone, it helps me not to notice the time but just don't over do it. They shouldn't act as if you are close friends.

It's definitely awkward but they're usually just lonely. I put on my fake smile and listen, refuse to tell them anything about myself and cut the conversation short when it gets too freaky. But then I'm 6 feet tall and male, so it's less likely they're going to try anything (even though I'm a geeky pacifist... they don't know that!). One or two of those weirdos have turned out to be really nice folks who I now stop and chat with for a good ten minutes whenever I see them and, to be honest, I'm a little bit like this with cashiers and shop staff - I always say hi and ask how they are, just to be friendly. Half of them probably think I'm a mental case.

I think they are lonely. Or they are conditioned that way. I'd most likely feel awkward but not creepy.. unless they give that vibe in another way. I don't like to talk so I wouldn't jump in to chat with them. I don't care if people do it, but I probably won't and don't give them the reactions and response they're looking for.

That's really odd. It's not a natural nature to tell a stranger about their life,almost giving the whole details. We can never even tell if it is true or they are just making some prank to make us believe or what. Well,i will just listen and if given a chance to slip away from that situation i will surely run from that scene. Maybe that's another motive,or tactics to cheat people.

For me it is very good to that way seldom doing it for now and mostly who is happy is Jehovah God it is the sine of true christian.

I find it very suspicious and be careful about it. There are those who are targetting something and there are lonely people. I think western culture is more likely to begin a conversation with a stranger.

I think its because I'm quite shy at first, but I hate it when strangers try to make small talk with me in public places like you're describing! I just don't know why they feel they have to share their life story with absolutely anyone who will listen, its quite disconcerting and I never quite know how to respond! Its definitely inappropriate to blurt out personal things about yourself to a stranger, in my opinion!

its what i felt.i am a calm person,so when i meet this over kind person i always felt worried.i wanna stay alone and think something or reading sth. or just relax a while.then he comes ,with loud voice,high passion and varouis topics.i am disturd.but my impolite tell me i can not express my unhappy.so i must response his passion ..the result is,our talking is going on and on unless the time to leave.i think i am a person who is not good at say "NO",which always bring me to a awkward situation.

I find it really awkward when strangers start a conversation with me and I do not have anything to do with them. But on topic I think that some people could say a hello and tell them your name, no need to go into detail!

I find it really awkward and a bit comfortable. I try to escape sometimes if i find a good opportunity to do so. It's not because i am suspicious that they might have some motive in telling me those things, but i just feel like i don't need to hear those things from a stranger. I have met people on a plane who would talk about their problems and at that time i felt it was okay and i even shared a piece of advice. But if those people have continued on giving specific details and would blurt out everything that i need not know, then i would probably say, i'd like to take a rest for awhile.

Find it very awkward. If that case i don't talk much just nod in respect to a friendly guy. But i am not much type of a person to give details to a stranger like that.

It is sometimes creepy because out of nowhere they will talk too much about their lives then ask about you from time to time. But sometimes I find it amazing because they have the courage to talk to strangers. I just think they don't have someone to talk too when they are at home. It is also interesting to talk to strangers at times when I'm in the modd to do so.

LOL, that sound the girl or guys are sales person. after knowing you, they start sales. this kind practice happen a lot in my country. in the end the offer you insurance.

hi Awinds. what you are talking about is just like a saleslady in a mall. you're trying to choose which one to buy, and she just follows you around, chattering about this and that.lol. it bugs me, really.
