were alone, would you stop to ask what is wrong and try to console him or her?

I certainly would stop and ask them if they were ok, I would have to know if they were hurt or needed help in any way, I would probably end up crying as well as I tend to do that when i see others crying...

I think I would find it hard to walk away when a person is crying and alone. So i could ask if talking would help or maybe something I could do to help wothin reason!

I would never be able to walk away, I would have to see if there was anything I could do to help them.

I would try to see if they were in need of help. If they asked me to call someone, I'd try to help. I would probably stay close by if they requested someone to come to them. I would wait with them.

This is a good question. It depends on whether or not it is daytime or nighttime. My first instinct would tell me to stop and see what is wrong and try to offer my assistance. My second instict would tell me to be careful and make sure this isn't a trap to rob or kill me. Unfortunately in the society we live in, we have to be very careful. I have heard stories of children being used to lure people to "help" them when they are in turn being mugged. Its sad that I have to think this way, but I must for my protection. I am a woman and people will try to take advantage of me. Possibly where I live, affects my state of mind as well since I live in a city where crime is apparent.

Sorry for the delayed response! I can totally understand what you mean. I was born and raised in the Bronx (I love it, but high crime) I have moved from there, but where I work is the same, if not higher crime rate. So I can appreciate your concerns!

Is she hot? OK,OK, I'm nicer than that. It would depend on how desperate they appeared. And frankly, on if I had the energy for it at the time. Sometimes there's so much going on on the streets of Brooklyn.
