Do you start short conversation with strangers in public?

I usually only do so if I am feeling particularly chatty. Or I am trying to chat someone up.

 

Only if the person is friendly and approachable or is friendly and approaches me.

 

Not usually unless I'm dr**k and/or st**ed. one of the reason I love London so much is people don't talk to each other. I actually prefer. people who aren't friendly.

 

Sometimes I do.

 

It depends on the vibe of the place and the people. I have done it on many occasions and I feel like it is not that bad. It is all a matter of gauging the person and following through with conversation.

 

Not typically. I will though if I think there is something that should be pointed out. I have been trying recently to break out of my social cocoon and, whenever I see something beautiful about another person, to remark about it. I just remember how much it makes me feel good when people tell me things like they think my eyes are pretty - or they like what I'm wearing. Spreading kindness in words is something small but very important, I think more people should do this.

 

Usually goes along the lines of "no officer that is not my road cone" and "yes officer I shall put it back where I found it"

I like to pay people compliments if I think their hair, nails, dress etc is nice.

 

I almost never start a conversation with someone, even people I know.

 

I really don't, but one of my jobs over the summer actually requires me to and it makes me feel incredibly weird. If I'm working with someone and they start the conversation and I jump in, I'm fine, but I struggle to start it. It's always made it hard for me to make friends because of that.
