Do you talk with people in public?

...and nothing of value was lost

I live in London. The looks I would get if I tried to strike up conversation with a stranger!

Generally, no. I just go about my own business in public. I find the average UK person too shallow, too aggressive, too inhumane and too up themselves to converse with. I am not these things, even if I was born in the UK too.

Or maybe your just too insecure and socially retareded to even hold a conversation with a friend let alone a stranger?

Trying to find excuses for your retardedness in the whole general public rather than yourself, haha. What a muppet.

If a person is a stranger, I have to let them earn my trust and admiration. I don't have closeness to people I don't know.

And i'm sure it haunts them at night before their fevered dreams of how one day, they may earn your respect. Let them dream, everyone needs dreams....

as alluded to before, i don't care. they don't know me, i don't know them. such is life.

not really, I just don't care about strangers. If there is a reason to, then by all means provide one. I won't change how I think or who I am, just because liberal/PC society says I should. There's nothing wrong in only giving a crap about people closest to you.

Are you afraid of talking to people because of your 'perceptual disorder'?

No, just indifferent to others in public.

OP you sound like an arse, I'm glad you don't converse with strangers, it would be the nations loss and a waste of time for the 'victim'.

Personally I'm a little shy but I talk to strangers when I can.
