Default Urge to talk to a stranger (synchronicities)

Have you ever have a strong intuitive impulse to talk to some stranger, and that stranger turn out to resonate with you?

Have you ever felt that you were meant to talk to someone...people you feel we you supposed to meet.


Really! because I haven't

I just curious who here has had these synchronicities that turned out to be very beneficial.

As far as I can recall, the only time I felt the impulse to talk to a stranger is when I need to ask directions about the place.

As an introvert as I am, I don't usually strike any convo with strangers, unless if emergency arises

But so far, I haven't met that stranger to "resonate" with me. Have yet to find that someone

Yeah, very recently I struck up a conversation with an older woman who sat beside me at the counter at my favorite cafe. Turns out that she and I share alot of the same beliefs, just called by different names. About a week after meeting her, I did a meditation out of the blue to find out who my 'spirit guide' and 'spirit animal' are. Her face appeared to me during the meditation, as my spirit guide.

So yes, this has happened to me!

I remember once driving my car and there was traffic, I saw a woman walking casually down the street, window shopping. I felt like I knew her from somewhere, maybe from another city, i couldnt get my eyes off her. I wanted to ask her where I know her from but I was in the car. Later that evening I had a meeting with a Dutch woman, visiting my country for the first time who was interested in my work. When she arrived to the meeting I was stunned that she was the woman that was window shopping who Id been staring at.

If you believe it's possible to connect with complete strangers you may surprise yourself.

We all start off as strangers, but I think we usually need just a little bit of commonality to connect..

Actually I've probably got a lot of stories with strangers & dunno where to start.

Default yes synchronicity works for me

The way i met my two best girlfriends here seemed like synchronicity, or a bit like guides/angels arranged the meeting.

The first one was at the start of 2008, i used to get my son in a back pack carrier and walk from my place (on the "mountain") to the city (about a 7 km walk). I had prayed to only meet "good intentioned people and creatures" (why? because i didn't want to meet any big unfriendly dog in the middle of the less inhabited areas). As i got closer to the city i saw an other woman walking with a newborn in her front pack carrier. We just felt like saying hi to each other, she said my baby lost one of his booties, i told her her son did too. And we casually introduced each other, shared our love of the outdoors and exchanged phone numbers to do regular walks together. She's been my close friend ever since.

The other synchronicity was a bit over a year ago. My husband had been away on a course so i had joked about him "owing me a morning at the spa for having been a single mum for several days". He actually surprised me by booking me in to spend a morning at the baths and get a massage. Turns out i felt like the masseuse was part of my soul group, she was wearing a quartz cluster around her neck (not the kind of jewelry people wear around here). She was very professional but at the end of the session we were talking auras, natural therapies, indigo children etc. As i left she gave me a piece of paper with her phone number and since then we are best friends. She really is of my soul family.

Just before i met her i had had an oracle card saying i was about to meet a friend we same interests and beliefs. I had thought "yeah right, how will this ever happen?". My first time at a well-being center is how it happened. Very cool.

Yes, it probably has happened more than once but this one time has been engraved into my mind forever. I was just a child back then, about 11 years old I think. New neighbours moved next door and they had two daughters, one was my age and the other was 2 years younger. They came to visit and I remember we were all having dinner together when I started talking with the younger girl (for the first time)....and about 10 minutes later we were playing in the other room and talking non stop... I remember feeling/thinking "I have never befriended someone so quickly!", "wow, she`s so much like me!". And then we started talking about how much we like eachother and how much alike we are...we were both baffled. It all happened in an hour or so, lol. Her sister was envious and felt left out (justifiably)... I remember thinking "I feel like I have known her before".
We became inseperable and are very close to this day (even though we see eahcother like once in every 2 years).

I think I can honestly say that I have never before and after met anyone who was SO MUCH LIKE ME.... (p.s. different isn`t worse, it`s just different ).

We also look alike and our lives (childhood especially) are very similar in some ways. When we went out we were often asked if we were sisters.

I experience this quite often. Lately I've been finding the subway to be a great place to talk to new people. I'd walk through the train and look for interesting people whom I could possibly want to get to know better. Then I'd sit down and talk to them - much like I used to do when I did sales.

It's really not that hard to start conversations with strangers. I'm very introverted myself. You just have to keep an open mind and ask questions. Then if you find that the person is not very interesting you drop the conversation and move on.

I think that if you have an open attitude towards the experience and act on your hunches to talk to certain people without paying any attention to whatever anxieties and fears that you may have, then you can have many interesting encounters this way.

Actually, I talked to a girl on a bus (train?) one time. We just seemed to connect. She found it unsettling to talk to strangers - but she had had a dream the night before about a ring I had on one of my fingers. The exact same ring, she said. She found that a little unsettling too.

They are only a stranger until you introduce yourself.

Do i ever have the urge to talk to strangers. No. But alot of strangers have the urge to strike up conversations with me. Especially on buses.
