Re: do you speak to everyone, you see?

I live in the south and people are pretty friendly around here.

Re: do you speak to everyone, you see?

It really depends on whether I am in a hurry or not. If I'm not, I'll usually strike up a conversation with a person or two. At school, I don't really talk to random people much (I talk to people in my class though...), they are usually busy with other people or studying or something else.

Here in england people don't really like it if we strike up a conversation.. they give you this shocked stare for a few seconds.. say some english nice words and move on.... but if you walk your dog.. or have a baby.. then they tend to talk to ya..

Personally I love to chat to people.. cuz I'm stuck in doors all day.. and the hubby doesn't know I'm alive.

Re: do you speak to everyone, you see?

This depends on if I've got my band of kiddos with me or not. Usually, we look so different, most people will go out of their way NOT to talk to us, or get close enough we could talk to them.

If I'm on my own, I'll talk or help anyone I come across. Love being outgoing. Used to be incredibly shy & I could see it was so limiting, so I made a decision to change. Glad I did.

Umma, that is sad. I often talk to strangers when I am standing in line, I guess I just like talking to people. I am home alone all day too, so I enjoy "talking" on the computer to nice people like you all!

No...I smile, but mainly I am wrapped up in my three kids...

(no don't touch that, yes it is a B, please stay on the sidwalk, no we don't need that...maybe we can cook tacos, I'll think...Don't chew on that...Can you hold it or do I need to find a potty now? Yes 5 times 5 is 25......No we can't grow an olive tree here...I am not sure, but I know I would never be able to keep it alive....I don't know where thye grow them, in Jerusalem? we can look it up when we get home...)

Oh man!! This so sounds like me when I go out with my three!! They have gotten older and I can carry on more of a "normal" conversation now!!

Here & there, but not everyone! But I do make sure I say thank you to those kind enough to hold a door open for someone with a baby in arm & a toddler in hand. I think that's one thing that doesn't get said enough is THANK YOU!

Re: do you speak to everyone, you see?

I do! I so talk to strangers, all the time! I try to make people smile. I have been known to get entire buses full of stuffy people to laugh. And acts of kindness are a lifestyle choice for me. Life takes on a different look when you are looking for the next adventurous way to help someone new! This week, I got to help a gal on crutches, told her Id been there, told her a quick story, and saw other people around smile too. A good outlook is infectious!

Re: do you speak to everyone, you see?

You remind me of a movie I really liked, planes trains and automobiles. The character, John Candy, got the entire bus to sing, meet the Flintstones!

Re: do you speak to everyone, you see?

everywhere i go, just about every time, someone will look at me and speak or ask for assistance or comment on something... i have really tried hard to stop talking to everyone, being summer and all. i am pretty much talked out by family and pals... need to return 3 phone calls this evening on my cell phone that are long distance...
