Are you approachable?

Many people aren't approachable. Meaning a perfect strangle purposes chooses to ask someone else a particular question, all because one person doesn't have an approachable type attitude. I used to be that way. I didn't that I had the ability to change it until I started going to church regularly and my Pastor talked about how your attitude determines your altitude. He also, stated in order to make friends, you need to present yourself first that you as a friendly person. Now, I believe I am approachable; at least some of my co-workers have told me that I am. How about you? You comments are worth its weight in gold. Thanks ahead of time.

I am probably too approachable.. I am an honest, open, above board person.. I am like the old saying "What you see is what you get".. I don't pretend nor do I put on airs.. I am very much closer to the poor side that I am to the rich side of people.. I am blessed with riches but not money.. I do have everything that I need for this day and tomorrow will be taken care of tomorrow.. I have always been this way.. I speak to others first, even when some do not speak back, I still speak, I make friends from the first time that I speak to someone.. I have always commented to my husband, that I have no talents, everyone has talents, but not me.. Some people can play the piano, create art, design a home, or decorate a room.. Some are great with any type of crafts that you can imagine, but not me.. When I speak of not having any talents at all, my husband reminds me that my talent is talking to people, talking and listening.. I am not bragging in any way, but I do love to make friends and meet new people.. I can strike up a friendship from day one and I no doubt enjoy it, because I maintain these friendships.. So, I guess that you could say that I am approachable, if I gave you the chance to approach me before I approach you. I am blessed with this talent and I do get to cultivate it on a daily basis because since we are no longer able to work full time jobs, we do flea marketing 5-6 days a week.. We travel to different flea markets and have the best time talking to so many other people.. I have made friends at about everyone that I have went to and some have been my friend for the last 10 years or so.. I am approachable..

~ Wow! ~ As I was reading your response, I was thinking the very same thing that your talent was talking to people. ~ You are very intellectually inclined and I can see that you have been indeed blessed to relate to people so well. In the end, it is the interaction with other people that truly matters most. Some people are hurting so badly, that all they need is someone to lean on by way of having a good friend that doesn't judge them, but will be able to listen to them.

i think so i am!!!or should i say YES i am approachable, especially if the one who wants to talk to me is nice, so their is no reason not to talk to them even if he is acomplete stranger i would probably talk to him unless he dont treat me good!!

yes i am approachable person, actually i am not a friendly type of person if there is someone first to approach me i give her/him a good way of entertaining unless she/he will respect me as a person...i hate those people who are mostly pretending as good but not in reality....i gain more friends because of my attitude thay can always approach me when the time of their problems....they ask me some little advices and i will them...and i don't know why they are always told me that i am good person.....maybe that is my evidence that i can say that i am an approachable one....

I am approachable. I would not be rude to anybody until I perfectly know them well. And then again, I would still not be rude to them even if I think there not that nice, I would just keep it to myself.

I'm approachable. I worked customer service for so many years that it has made me comfortable around people. I don't always want to be approached, but I am always willing to help and people can sense that.

I believe I am. I am not rude to anyone without reason to be. I'll have a conversation with just about anyone, but approachability and sharing my life story are two entirely different things and that is one thing I will not do with someone I just met lol :)
