Strangers

Hi Sviswan, I am not okay with talking to strangers. It's not because of the fact that my mom told, 'don't talk to strangers', but for the simple reason that I am not a good talker, a shy person who is more or less of introvert kind. I take time to open up to a new gathering. however, I am very good listener and that manages some good friends and acquaintances for me. I have made some lovely friends by mere listening. Having said this, once I am okay with the person (that requires quite some rendevous), I will begin to confide in more. Thanks.

i'm not good at trusting and i don't even give my trust that easily, especially to strangers! but i guess it depends on the nature of that person, i mean, i can have a clue on to what kind a person might be. i'm usually nice to very old people, i mean very old! ^__^;; but i had an experience with an old man, probably in his 50's or 60's. maybe i was just being paranoid but i thought he was following me inside a mall. .

I hate strangers staring at me without a reason.So to avoid getting upset i always smile at them and say hi.that is my way and I make friends very easily.

It wont be easy for me to go around and talk with total strangers. However when i do talk to someone and discuss some issues i do leave an impression on one's mind and whenever we do meet next or just pass by together he would be the first one to great me on his own.

I am a friendly person, I love people and can get along well with everyone, it is just my nature, I love People, I am an Aquarian. We get along well with people.

Iam a friendly person but i never open the talks first..i have made quite a lot of friends by talking to strange people but its always the other one to introduce them to me and later become good friends..when i feel comfortable talking to strangers i continue otherwise i just make a smile and keep going with my work..

It all depends where I encounter a stranger..By nature I am shy..but if it's on the net.. I am not so shy..So here in mylot I talk to everyone..it's easy..but off the net.. I do not easily open up even to non-strangers..i am a very shy person. believe it or not;)

Although at all times I try to remain aware of "stranger danger" (wow I feel like I"m in kinder again using that term hehe) I tend to be a very friendly and approachable person. I open up very easily, and have no qualms in hearing about other peoples problems and trying to offer them some advice. The way I see it, is all the friends you currently have, once upon a time you didnt know them- you had to talk to them to build a friendship. So I talk to people I don't know/strangers and sometimes a friendship blossoms, and at other times, an acquaintance, or nothing at all.

I'm quite ok with talking to strangers but it will depend on my mood at that time. if i'm feeling good and friendly i will tend to be very chatty, but i will prefer not to when im in a bad mood as i will lose my temper very easily.

never can i open up in the very first encounter. i need time and must read the person before i can get friendly with someone. its all becasue i look foe good and long term relations. i just cant be friends with someone in the very first meeting.

Oh I am always very weary of strangers but I remain friendly without divulging too much about myself. Better safe that sorry, afterall.

I am not very good with complete strangers. It's not that I am shy, I just feel uncomfortable sometimes. Once I know the person a little bit, it's enough for me to open up.

Good Post! No, I do not easily open up with strangers. I allow them to speak first and express themselves and in this manner, I come to know about them. If I see that the stranger appears to be a nice fellow, then only I continue the conversation, otherwise if I find him dubious, I do mingle with him much. Contratulations!
