“If you want to be more extroverted, good for you. But probably start with people you meet on a daily basis first, ie neighbours, colleagues. Strangers likely wont be receptive…” was the sage advice offered by one netizen
SINGAPORE: A Reddit user wondered out loud what many others may have been thinking, whether it’s “normal” or “appropriate” to talk to strangers in Singapore.Whenever I’m walking whether it be towards the MRT or a bus or even in my condo, I always try and say hello or at least strike up a bit of small talk with ppl I find interesting, it’s just my way of trying to be ‘polite’.
“Definitely normal to not talk to strangers. I think there’s a very high chance most people will assume you’re trying to sell them something if you randomly start conversing with them on the street,” another chimed in. “Yes it’s definitely weird in Singapore unlike other countries. If someone randomly started talking to me I’ll probably feel weirded out and walk away. A greeting is fine though,” one commented.
