Your parents often told you not to talk to strangers and not take rides from ppl but we know many ppl don't listen.


•Have you ever took a ride from a stranger when you were a kid?
•Did you like talking to older ppl on the internet when you were young ?
•How gullible were you when you were a kid, did u easily trust ppl ?

I didn't to all of the questions. A stranger (who appeared homeless) pulled off something creepy to me while I was on my way back from school once, I ran away. Never saw him again thankfully

Well I was in hospital for about a year as a kid, so in that sense I talked to many strangers that I later got to know- Drs, nurses, patients, other kids if there were any there as I was often bored and pretty lonely since I was usually the only kid patient there. I befriended some adult patients there, I can remember a lady from Iceland who sent me a postcard when she went back home. Another patient I befriended was a birder and she actually got me into the hobby, and I can remember we went birding in the grounds together with her boyfriend. As for getting rides? I can remember another patient offering me a ride on his motorbike around the parking lot, but I can't actually remember if I actually did ride that time. I can remember me getting a ride back to the place we were staying with an American kid and his mother though. So I guess yes, but I sort-of knew these people and I guess my parents trusted them enough to let me hang out with them.

I never actually chatted to people online until I was in my mid-20s lol

I guess I was pretty trustworthy, although I didn't have too many responsibilities or was left on my own for too long.

  • A ride from a stranger? No. From school faculty, people known to me through previous interactions such as shop owners and managers, and those associated with my parents but otherwise unknown to me? Yes.
  • Yes. I still have some correspondence with people I met 30+ years ago.
  • How trustworthy was I? I don't know. I'm a rather biased party to ask this question to, so I suppose an impartial, objective answer would depend on who you asked.


I'd like to ask a different question to anyone reading: what is something you were taught by a stranger (when you were a child) that you have never forgotten?

Yes, I often talked to stranger men when I was a little kid, then I blackmailed them into giving me money, otherwise I would accuse them of CSA

I mean not really. As a kid it's not like the opportunity arose too much irl. Now online? That's a different story.

Not really, I mean if I happen to meet someone passing by I may give a friendly hello or whatnot. Definitely wouldn't hold a conversation with them without my parents there though. Especially if they had Snickers bars.

Talking yeah but not really conversations just talking to like employees at a rollerskating rink for example.. until my parents gave me social anxiety where to this day I have trouble talking to anyone. Never had a ride from anyone nor offered one as a kid. I did not really talk to people online till older but there is some post I left on some random blog site i made when I was 8 i can still find online. Nothing ever happened to me from anything.

Although did have one strange moment some random guy grabbed my hand separating me from my family and said something to me and I just went along with it standing there confused and got worried everyone was getting further away so I said "sorry i have to go", and that had him laughing. lol

•Have you ever took a ride from a stranger when you were a kid?
Nope. I've taken rides from my mom's friends after school, but never from complete strangers.

•Did you like talking to older ppl on the internet when you were young ?
I didn't have much experience talking with older people online back when I was really young, so I'll go with "no." Most of my online conversations were with people in my general age group at the time.

•How gullible were you when you were a kid, did u easily trust ppl ?
Unfortunately, very, lol. I was way more susceptible to scammers and false narratives back when I was a kid.

I was really social and would talk to anyone. I had and still have so much confidence, but I was wise about it to a degree.
