How do you react talking to a stranger? whether it is the one who sits next to you in flight or someone seeking your help..will you trust them and provide them with all the information or you try to maintain distance by merely giving answers in one word!! what's the best way to handle them? ignore or answering them???

It depends on how much the stranger wants to know. As long as he/she is not asking for personal information then I won't mind talking with him/her. I do however noticed that I tend to keep quiet when a stranger approaches me. I keep my answers simple so that we won't have anymore to talk about :P Hey, if they guy wants to talk, why not meet up with his own friends? Thanks for the response on my discussion!

I am pretty comfortable speaking to strangers. Not just anyone ofcourse but I can usually tell when someone is genuine with their conversation and I do not really have a problem with speaking to a stranger if they need help or even just general chit-chat sometimes! You know that old saying - 'Every stranger is a potential friend that we just don't know yet'. It's quite true when you think about it.

Well when I was young then I used to be reserve, but now with age I never find it difficult to talk to strangers who are sitting next to me in some travel. I have made some very good friends while travelling.

It depends really. But most of the time I dont mind talking to strangers. I have to deal with strangers every day at my work and I think that has helped me become comfortible talking to strangers a lot since I was very nervous before I started working and couldnt talk to strangers.

Well I would say I am not comfortable at all talking to a stranger. I would only answer to what that person ask and would try my best to avoid unless if the stranger does not look suspicious. Thanusha

Honestly, not comfortable at all. Whether ignore or answer them, it really depends on what they ask. Giving answers in one word, I'd probably do that to make sure the stranger knows that there's a line he/she cannot cross. Or say, " Didn't your mama tell you not to talk to strangers?". Hehehhe.
