I find it really difficult to realate to strangers .
Talking o them is a big event for me . I am very conservative in my words when i talk to strangers .
I really find it difficult to be friends with them though
many of them have been very nice with me .
How comforatble are you with strangers ?

I can talk with nice stranger. the other day I saw a lady looking at some culinary things in the back of a resteraunt supply store and as I was walking pass her I said that is my wish list area. She laughed and then we talked for like 10 minutes. but normally I cannot strike a conversation up like that.
I do do better with one on one then I do group I can know 10 people and talk with them all the time but put them in a class and have me stand up in front of them and I freeze.

Well I wouldn't say I make friends with them immediately, because I think it takes a very long toime to get to know someone well enough to call them a friend - but I do talk to people quite easily. My job involves me meeting lots of people, - also my partner's job involves lots of socialising which I gave to be part of - so it is just second nature to me. If anything - I ought to learn to shut up instead of talk so much - LOL!

I agree with you that it is difficult to make friends with a stranger at shorter time because we don't know each other and it is difficult for us to trust and understand each other...

Hi Jamie, I have no problem talking to strangers, at all , I can and have talked to every person that has stood in front of me for more that 8 seconds, other that them waiting at a stoplight or some thing similar. I wonder where you difficulty comes from. I know that in this day and age and for the past 31 years children were told never talk to strangers, It is a sad state of affairs when I am on the bus and there is a sweet child sitting with their mother and I say hello and the mother glares at me and says I am trying to teach my children not to talk to strangers, So do you mind.
