do you talk to a stranger?

during my younger days i never talk to strangers. I just learned to communicate with other people or strangers so to speak just few years ago. their impression of me before was that i was a snob. I only talk to my family members and relatives, i only seldom talk to even my friends. I was like in my own world. lol. i dunno. i could say i was a snob but that was before now, I can already talk to anybody. since, i own a store i had to deal costumers so i learned from talking to strangers already.

i chose not to because i am told when i was younger not to talk to strangers, and they might be dangerous.. however, if a stranger ask or talk to me a question, i would talk to her/him, but i would keep my distance and will not tell info about me...and i will also be aware of my surroundings..

Well all parents are very protective and teach their children not to talk to a stranger.When I was young then if somebody talked to me then I used to reply but was quite reserve. Then one day I realized that the best gift a man has got is speech, no other animal can speak so nicely, from then onwards I had no qualms in talking to strangers, but generally I do not initiate. But if you are going on a road and want to locate an address then strangers are often helpful.

Yes i do talk to strangers if i or they need any information.Nothing wrong in it.Many youngers fear to talk to strangers and as the time passes they learn to talk with them,Happy mylotting..

It depends, for instance we are going to one place and we are not familiar in that place then that is the time that we are going to ask or talk to any person or stranger that we are going to meet on the street to ask for the direction but we choose people who look nice and kind. But if someone talks to me and he looks like a murderer or if I vibes something bad about that person I will just ignore him and I will not talk to him.

I'll talk to a stranger; why not? What's talking going to do? When I was younger, my parents (of course) told me not to talk to strangers, and of course I listened to them. Children are vulnerable, and don't really have the "street smarts" that we acquire as we grow older. Today, I'm moderately good at kickboxing, I always carry around mace with me, and I'm extremely cautious of what others are doing around me. I grew up in a big city, and I've had the advantage (or disadvantage?) of being able to experience dealing with creeps first-hand. I don't think that you should isolate yourself, after all, your friends were once strangers - weren't they? It's friendly to talk to strangers, but it's important to stop talking to them when your intuition tells you so - or when you feel as though something isn't right, and that the person has an alterior motive. As soon as you feel uncomfortable, you should not talk to them any longer and get away from them. There's a difference in exchanging pleasantries and having someone harrass you. So, I'll talk to strangers, why not? I just know when to draw the line, and I'm capable of defending myself if need be.
