The mind being wired
to do something it PERCEIVES as a bit risky. Can be from first-hand
experience, or from what they hear from others, or can be from their own
logic (rarely), or
just fear of the
unknown.
For example: “STRANGER DANGER”
Passed by parents, telling them to avoid strangers
Later, blamed for "lack of experience with communication " or "lack of
friends" (school,
which is pretty much the only place left, tells people to be quiet
during class) 1. but everyone is a stranger at first! 2. so if you
actually follow their advice to the full, you would end up as a total
lone wolf! 3.no marriage, as even marriage partners are strangers =
humans go extinct!
Strangers usually have no reason to harm, you know. Other than statistical outliers like murders, because they have zero expectation that anything would happen, so even talking would be more than they expected. However, they are less likely to do favors or tasks that take long amounts of time than friends.
