Are you comfortable talking to complete strangers and how often do you strike up conversations with people you don't know?

Sure I am comfortable talking to strangers. I don't do it on a daily basis, depends on the situation I am in. Commuting to the City everyday gives grand opportunity to talk and joke with strangers on a daily basis.

No and not very often. I will chat with anybody who up and talks to me but I'm not comfortable just striking up conversations with people I don't know.

I'm very uber social so I'm very comfortable striking up conversations with people. Most of my friends are my friends because I said something to them first.

I am very social. But I wasn't always this way. I used to be way to shy to strike up conversation with strangers. Now, I am probably open to a fault if anything!

Same here. Provided that I don't detect some kind of red flag that tells me not to, I will casually chat with a stranger who engages me in conversation. However, I am not really one to strike up one myself.

Yes and all the time. Sometimes you run into standoffish those people that wont really say much back or give you a "WHY ARE YOU TALKING TO ME?" look but I think for the most part people appreciate it others engage them in conversation. They just dont like making the 1st move. I love talking to people I dont know. I think it gives me more social skills and makes me good at reading different kinds of people.

I've never been the social type but that's something I've found very easy to do especially lately.

I might make a comment about something that would spark a light conversation....but I don't go up to complete strangers and start yapping.

This.

Im comfortable with it. Sometimes I strike up conversations with people on the trains and stores.

I deal heavily with the public everyday as a receptionist in a govrnment building, so when I leave for the day I am "SO done" talking to people. When I sit in the bus or light rail I just want to be left alone.

I'm usually comfortable talking with starngers and I might be the first to speak but not just randomly about the weather, etc.

Eh, a bit too random.

Don't have a problem with it but it's better when the other person seems nice.
