In our childhood times, we are always taught by or parents that never talk to strangers.....what do you think now about this statement? Is this right according to you? I generally not prefer to talk to strangers at times, if I feel something fishy or so about them. What abt u? Lets share your views here on myLot:-)

I do talk to strangers but it depends to the situation. If they come to me to ask something maybe I will reply to them but I never talk to stranger that I am the one to say first and if the strangers look crazy. lol

As a parent myself I am constantly reminding my children never to speak or go off with strangers if I am not there. However they seem to have picked up that there is a difference between "talking to a stranger" and being polite and curteous. If someone says hello to them they say hello back and carry on walking. If an old lady drops her shopping, they will help her before carrying on. There is a very fine line and I like my children to be polite as well. Myself talking to strangers is another matter. I tend to go by my "gut instinct". I know that at times I probably will judge someone harshly or unfairly on a first meeting but I would rather that than end up in a situation I cannot control. If someone comes across as nice and pleasant, I will chat and pass the time of day with them until a bus or train arrives!

hi musu.. In my case yeah, i do talk to strangers. Im a people person. Im friendly and i like getting to know someone new. Most especially when you are alone in a crowded room. You don't know anyone, well your last resort is to relly find somebody to talk to. Well that's for me.

I talk to strangers if I feel confident. There are many people that try to take advantage of you. And that's the reason we say children not to talk to strangers, because they might not judge properly.
