Stranger than Friction

“She doesn’t meet a stranger!” “Stranger things have happened”. Interesting phrases that a number of us have heard. We can naturally strike up a conversation with a person we have never seen before. In another setting around persons known to us, we are at a loss for words. There are some things that we simply are not able to wrap our head around, just can’t figure it out. Do we feel we are more free with words in the presence of unknown people? Or do we believe we are less likely to be judged? Or does it not matter because we may never see this person again in our life? Strange, huh?
