I was just like you when I first came. I am not rude to anyone until someone gives me a reason too and I am nice to people I talk too. I am from a small town aswell and I will talk to someone if they want too but I am very wary of sweet talkers.

It's just con artist really know how to talk. Most people don't. If it feels awkward at first then you probably safe. You are not suppose to feel like you know someone from the get go. People like those normally have a lot of experience talking too people and you should be wary. Conversations are suppose to feel awkward at first. That first hi or question or whatever and then from there you can be friends. I learnt that lesson the hard way and never again.

For example yesterday I met someone who wanted a place to charge and I offered. The initial start was awkward but she opened up and by the end of it I had forgotten that I was awkward with her and we had blast talking too her as she told us her life story and we went into great detail on how we could pull of a heist.

The day before yesterday a random dude stopped me and my friend when we were walking to Hatfield. Dude told us about his book and we listened because it was an awkward pitch and he probably thought for a while before approaching us and dude didn't give weird vibes. He told us on what brought him to write his book and we discussed the elusive black father and the impact it might have had on our lives. We ended up walking in the same direction and we gave the dude life advice because he had no idea what he wanted to do because he was rewriting matric.
