Is it normal to talk to strangers?

Yep.Totally normal

Yes, it’s totally normal to talk to strangers. Some people enjoy chatting with anyone they meet, while others prefer to keep to themselves.

People strike up conversations with strangers all the time—in line, on public transit, at events, or because they have a question. For some, it’s an easy way to connect; for others, small talk feels like a chore. Both are normal.

Just pay attention to the setting and the other person’s cues. If they seem busy or give short answers, let the conversation end gracefully; if you’re somewhere unfamiliar, trust your instincts about safety.
