“Don’t talk to strangers ...” That is probably one of the 41 pieces of advice handed down from our parents. Yeah,they 42 well. Since there are bad people out there,it seems to be a good idea in order to help 43 us. And over the years we’ve learned how to keep our eyes 44 . We are used to making no eye contact with strangers.
45,the price that we pay for this 46 is that we grow up suspicious(表示怀疑的) of others and their motives. We tend to have a(n) 47 of strangers,which is neither necessary nor 48 as we grow older.
Most people out there are not sociopaths (反社会者) .49,most people are quite 50 . What once protected us from bad people is now preventing us from establishing relationships with 51 people!
In general,you know that the random stranger standing next to you is very 52 to kidnap (绑架) you,yet the emotion of fear is 53 associated with talking to them. So you 54 do it. But you miss out on a lot by closing yourself off to new people like this.
Instead,you should actively 55 that people in general are fiiendly. Why? Because they are. Most people actually are nice. We are 56 creatures,and we welcome interactions with others. Think about it: when a stranger starts a(n) 57 with you,how do you usually 58 ?
Besides,you never know who you might 59 . The person standing behind you in a line could one day be your best friend. It 60 . But even if it's not that extreme,you never know if that person has a job opportunity for you,or is just a cool person who you would enjoy having a brief conversation with.
