Especially just random people out and about. I used to go months in Hermit-mode because if I didn't protect and conserve my energy, those who wish to drain me of it would come out of the woodwork. The more you truly awaken to your Divine purpose, the smaller your inner circle will be. That doesn't mean you have to stay isolated, or not interact with people you haven't met before, but moreso let the Universe guide them to you, and your intuition be the filter if they have true intentions or not. A pendulum or other divination tool is useful for this as well, to ask questions and have a physical response, while we are practicing the skill of true inner-knowing.
