Do you feel comfortable speaking to strangers?

Its depends on how he butt in. I guess its depends on the person or on the stranger. theirs just some that just their presence you feel welcoming them. while their some that even when they approach you already feel tense and irritated. I think that's what happen to me. Beside he keep on changing our topic and his only butt in.

That's why I'm irritated and worse he speak loud. Although not intimidating its still loud. At least when he sense that no body talk back to him he leaves. The worse is my brother. He talks and talks and talks even you don't listen he keeps on talking even if you are watching t.v. etc. lols. But that's okay for me at least he is my brother not a stranger.

Right.Much depends on the nature of the stranger.If he tries to change the topic of our conversation,I won't like it.Such people are irritating.

i also think that the man was just trying to find out and share some information himself. i do know what you mean about talking to strangers. that does get annoying to me when i am minding my own business and someone just comes up and starts talking.

I think it is okay if the stranger joins a conversation or talk in a respectful way. Talking to strangers are just like making new friends. So it is alright, for me. :) Especially that I am a friendly and social kind of person.

@somecowgirl Its understandable if he is curious about the archaeological find but I know he is not interested about the archaeological finds he is more interested to butt in with our conversation. I can't explain it but you know if someone is having conversation for the sake of having one. @moongypsy But his intention is not about the archaeological find and I guess he is regular of that mall and his just trying to butt in. that's how I feel. Anyway I guess I'm not that open to stranger. I'm okay also talking to stranger but if its mutual ground or at least theirs an ice breaker or something. Not just butting in as if we know each other for a long time. @mhamhaish I do agree. But sometimes their what we called timing. You can talk to someone new if its introduce to you. You can talk to stranger if you want to ask direction and some chat here and their. But Just out of no where someone jump in in the conversation as if we know its other for a long time? that's don't fall for me as right.

Me at most I send about a minute or two talking to a stranger in mutual matter. But having a conversation for the sake of conversation. I prefer to just keep on silent. lols. Beside. I don't want to be an open book to any strangers. I really hate that. especially when they ask personal questions.

If its a job related then theirs nothing wrong with that. And even talking to stranger theirs nothing wrong with that. but the way or the approach that make a difference. Because theirs are time when you really need to talk to a stranger and talk in mutual manner. But in my case. I'm talking to my friend and with the guard in the mall. And come in loud and worse he try to change the topic to his own liking.

He was probably trying to friendly but it came off as being intrusive instead!

Actually its not about talking to stranger as the main topic in here. If you read the content of my post you will know the reason why and what happen. Theirs different type of people and of course strangers and having conversation with them for me is not the problem but how that stranger blend in and connect to the topic at hand.

Its okay in normal condition and but problem is that he is changing the topic or the point that we are discussing in short he is interrupting and changing the topic. Me and my friend are more interested on the history while the he is more interested to the money that is in the hole.

That's good. But if we can't control the topic then I guess that's bad. lols. especially if that strangers want to be the center stage of the conversation. I don't feel comfortable when someone especially a stranger is loud. I'm only comfortable if that person is close to me.

Problem is that its his interest that he is loud on not on what us the majority is talking about. As we are talking about the old site. He is more interested on the coins and money that can be found in the whole as many thought its a wishing well. lols. So in short he is not interested about history but interested about the money.

His not really into what we are discussing. He is more on the money that we saw in the hole. since its a hole other thoughts its a wishing well and they throw money in. that's what he is interested on and he is loud about it. that's what irritates me because I'm more interested to the history and that's the reason why me and my friend ask the guard about the site.

Me I don't mind speaking to stranger if its a mutual conversation. But if its a forceful conversation then that's another story. I don't like strangers to just butt in and want to take the center stage. That's what I don't like because I don't even know you and you treat me like you know me since high school. That kind of stranger that I don't like.

I'm not usually irritated if its a mutual talk. But someone butting in is a different story. Especially if that person is changing the conversation to its own liking then that's another story. Because for me if you are a stranger you must not be the center piece.

Me its okay to talk to stranger as long its a mutual talk. But talking to a stranger who want to steal a show then I think that's a different story. I don't think its going to work for me at all.

I'm okay talking to stranger if its a mutual talk. But if we some one just butt in and change the topic to his own liking then I guess that's for me is a different story. I don't like strangers butt in and changing topic to his own liking.

That's what happen. He broke our fun. the worse part is that he is changing our topic as he also in grouse to the money that you can find in the hole. He is not interested at all with the history of the site. His interested on the money that is in the site.

Its not that kind of stranger that I'm talking about. Because since its your job prescription. I don't think they are stranger but rather a client direct and indirect client. Because since you talk to them base one your company profiles. Unless that person talk to you about your personal life then that's different story.

I agree. And I think you hit the spot. He only not proud and feeling knowledgeable he is also changing the topics that we are discussing to his own liking. that's why I'm irritated. He buts in and he want to be the center of the the shows. And when we ignore him he just leave. Beside you really don't know his real intention. We are not living in good neighborhood so its understandable to be defensive.
