Do you talk to strangers?
I do sometimes. Whenever I find the stranger kind. One time I took a jeepney on my way home because the boyfriend is not around to fetch me. There was an old woman on her 60's I think sitting in front of me. She was smiling at everyone.
She talk to the girl beside her. But the girl ignored her and I can tell through her face that she don't like as if the old woman is sick or something.
I observed the old woman. Then she said that she's happy because her son is waiting for her and she can't wait to go home. She misses her son so much.
I'd like to talk to her because I feel she needs someone to share her happiness. But I need to go because I reached my destination already.

I don't rush to talk to anyone but I like to talk to people either stranger or known. Specially older people need someone to talk to them. I try to talk to them.

@JustBhem life experiences have made them done with all the drama, so I find only wisdom and a genuine heart is left with them.

that's true. some are wary of strangers suddenly talking to them and i guess it's understandable. i talk to strangers, in public transpo, or while waiting in line, or sharing a table.

@JustBhem definitely not! hahaha! seriously, though, we also have to be aware of pickpocket's tactics, which is someone will distract the victim, while the other is doing the stealing, which happens in public transportation and public places (streets, fastfood outlet, malls)

Yes. We know it when there is somethjng fishy going on. We have that instict sometimes so I guess, it's a case to case basis.

sometimes i do especially when i see that the person is unassuming and is receptive. when there is a person who neither smiles nor frowns, i stay away.

@JustBhem yes, especially when we start a communication with her/him. when we studied Psychology, we can somehow learn their personality if genuine or false

You are so lucky my friend, you can tell a person's behavior.

I don't usually talk to strangers, or even acquaintances. Hihihi I mean, you can't count on me to start a conversation, but if you do, I will not ignore you. I usually smile to strangers, though.

That's sweet. I cant really approach and talk tp some because I am an introvert.. But uf someone is eager to talk to me, or approaches me first, i talk to them in a really friendly manner.. Unless they are rude.. Haha
