Are we too distrustful of random people?

1 Answer

Answer :

answer:Pedophile? I never heard of such a thing, this changing seats on airplane for that reason. That sounds ridiculous to me. I am not very wary of the average passerby, unless we are the only two on a street or in an elevator. In public areas I generaly don’t feel wary at all, although I do automatically take some precautions, like keeping my purse next to me, stuff like that.
