I have always had a small fear of strangers, but now I think I just scared.

Anyway, while I was sitting down having lunch with a friend, this lady, out of nowhere grabbed my wrist and looked at my tattoo. She began mumbling and wouldnt let go of my hand.....WTF????? I had to ask her to let go of my wrist....

How do you react towards strangers????

my tattoo looks something like this:
the witch's knot

yea thats a bit freaky!! (the stranger i mean) i dont think i've had anyone ever do that to me... nope can't recall anything. but hope you have better luck in the future

I couldnt understand what the hell she was saying.....

Usually I shoot them ... if I don't have my gun on me, I kick them in the head until they don't move anymore.

If they're cute, I kiss them and ask for their phone number.

ha!!!

Strangers tend to start conversations with me, I find that a little awkward

Thank God no one has ever grabbed me

me???

It depends on the situation. If someone makes small chitchat (telling me they like my shoes, hair, asks me a question), I'm cool but when they start a conversation, I get a little wierded out. The only time I've had anyone touch me was dudes in bars and I've flat out said "Don't touch me."

I love people but I don't like weirdos.
I was on the Tube one night and this guy sits next to me. I carry on reading my newspaper ignoring. When suddenly I can feel he is staring at me and start touching my wrist, I look at him and told me what he wanted and stopped. 2 minutes later he touches my wrist again, I just stormed out.
I attract strange people, back in the days I really wanted to help them to get better but now I avoid them at all cost.

what happened to "a stranger is a friend you just don't know yet ..."

All joking aside, I love interacting with people I just met or talking
to a dude or a lady at the bus-stop. Don't you all find it refreshing ??
People are so interesting !!! Of course there are the freaks ... but
there's only a few of them and yeah there's always a risk but I gladly
take it just to meet another beautiful soul.

Same here. Many times, strangers ask me for directions or comment on my tattoos. That's fine, but if they try to sell me sh!t, convert me to their religion, or ask for money, they get my NYC "don't bother me" look.

that's just weird for some reason stranges love to talk to me. people start conversations with me every single day, telling me all about their life and what's going on and everything. I don't know what it is about me that attracts them but I do.

They just stare. A LOT.

I was sitting on a bench in a shopping centre once and I swear, every single person that walked past felt the need to stare at me until they were too far away.

Once I was in the car and this girl riding her bike down the path just stopped and stared in at me. I was like

My friend told me once that she was waiting for her friend to buy something and didn't realise she was standing in front of the tampon shelf. An old lady came up to her and said "Running low dear?"

creepy part about this is strangers usual feel its ok to touch me.....

WTF?????

amorbella said:

Do you have a lot of visible tats and/or piercings?

I have one tattoo on the inside of each wrist

amorbella said:

Well there goes my theory, but...

Seriously, you should go get that chick's number. You may have walked away from the woman of your DREAMS!

Dance said:

Im a female, and im straight.....

amorbella said:

Is that a problem ... stranger

amorbella said:

Why should that stop you?

No, I'm kidding, I know.


























































but a lot of girls say that, and then...

people always tell me to correct my posture on the street.

amorbella said:

What a creepy situation!!
I get really nervous around strangers and always go to one of the extremes

Either I get nervous and dont speak at all (around people who intimidate me)

or I become really friendly with them

I love people but I always get either:

1.) Weirdos/Stalkers (Just last night I was at a grocery store and this guy was staring at me. As I was leaving/backing out my car, I noticed that he was parked next to me. He was standing outside his car waving to me. I left. I went across the street to Walmart. He saw me turning into the driveway and followed me. I hurried and parked, he finds my car and stops right behind it. A bunch of people were turning into that aisle so he was forced to move forward. I flew out of the car and went into the store. Stuff like that irritates me because I've had people try to follow me home!

2.) People who feel the urge to tell me their life stories and I'm nice enough to listen.

3.) People who embarrass me (Ex: I was in a crowded store and this guy walks up to me in front of everybody and starts singing that song 'Pretty Brown Eyes' by Mint Condition. I was like you've got to be kidding me. I wanted to disappear!)

Maybe I should stop going into stores!!!

What did you do?

Dance said:

I just stood there and smiled out of utter embarrassment. I was pretty much trapped and couldn't escape because I was in line. What made it worst was that everybody stopped what they were doing and started looking. Even the check out clerks. Some woman were like, "ah, how cute". Afterwards, he asked for my number and some people were like, "Give it to him!" but I didn't. I declined nicely though because even though he embarrassed me, I didn't want to embarrass him that badly in front of everybody.

That sounds like my auntie she is overzealously religious, and was probably praying for your soul.

She wouldn't let me into her house with this on my necklace:
