Quick question.

What do you expect out of strangers?

I personally like to expect the best out of people, and try to pull it out of them when I encounter them. It's just that people have different ways of showing it.

(it being the good side)

But I used to expect the bad side of people to come out, and it seems that by doing so I kind of made a self-fulfilling prophesy of perceiving people as all bad.

Anyone else raised to expect the worse?

 

LOL thats awesomely funny....I too expect the best out of a stranger...It actually depends on how he or she looks, that persways(sp?) my expectations.

 

I tend to think good of strangers, unless they seem suspicious.

 

I tend to hope for the best but expect the worst....Paranoia runs deep...;-D

 

whenever i used to ask for a ciggerete of a random person id expect the worst.

 

I expect honesty - "To thine self be true"
Hypocritical philosophy is for me a big turn off

 

Expect good and well, and people are generally polite and nice back.
Just don't hold your heart out for a stranger -- I advice to be selective with people you know too...

 

i expect them to not talk to me, and i won't talk to them.

 

lol i like this one.

 

I have a general disdain for society in general, so while I am nice to everyone, I assume everyone is just a selfish asshole, out to get theirs.
