• Do you often talk to strangers?

Well, I used to be painfully shy. I would be scared of going to parties where there were a lot of people I had never met before. Although I’ve become more open and sociable now, I do sometimes feel uncomfortable striking a conversation with someone whose style and personality appear far too different from mine. I don’t think I have social anxiety but it can get really hard to venture out of our comfort zone you know.

• Do you have difficulty talking to strangers?

Well, I had in the past but I find it much easier now. It has been such a long journey to overcome my awkwardness and to be more outgoing.  It is amazing really. I’ve taken great pride in my dramatic progress though I still feel nervous when being around people who look intimidating or unapproachable and I only start talking to them out of necessity. (out of = due to)

• Are you afraid of being judged by strangers?

That’s exactly what I had in mind while trying to break the ice with someone I had never talked to. Now, I don’t mind being judged and rarely take offense. There is nothing wrong with making an effort to socialize with people. However, I do worry that I might intrude on their privacy or solitude. So, to some extent, I’m still quite cautious about approaching and talking to complete strangers.
