Do you ever feel the desire to talk to strangers?

This is one of my naive qualities. You know when you are a grocery store or restaurant, and everyone is in their own little bubbles? Even at some bars and clubs, there is this tension in the air that everyone is afraid to spark conversation with someone outside of their group; I don’t like this.

Could this be attributed to the fact that it is indeed a dangerous world where we do not know who is out to deceive or harm someone and who is actually a decent person?

I will be out and see some people and I’ll think “I wonder what their name is and how they are doing? How has their day been? I wonder what they like to talk about….?”. But of course I can’t just approach someone because I will be seen as untrustworthy and/or suspicious. It’s pretty unrealistic to be like this anyways in our society, but I was wondering if anyone else feels this way?
