Fi type even if she does not likes the situation would pay attention to a human who may need some help.
Yup, I'm okay with strangers approaching me when they need help, such as when they are asking for directions. I also enjoy approaching strangers whom I see need help, such as blind people, or people who need help in opening doors, etc. What I meant in my post was more of unknown advances made by strangers, such as this person who suddenly put her drink down on the table as I was happily lunching alone one day, but who looked very unfriendly. There were plenty of other tables around so I was not certain of her intention, and thus I quickly made my escape after finishing my food.

Another time was when a male acquaintance who had never talked to me before, suddenly came up to me to try to make small talk in a way. I was taken aback by his sudden advances, and did not know how to handle it, so I retreated elsewhere quickly. Like create a distance of some sort. I then began paying more attention to him, until I figured one day as I saw him approaching other girls too, that he was just trying to get to know more girls with the hopes of getting a girlfriend.

It's more like for me, I need to at least know the purpose to feel comfortable in being approached, or in approaching strangers. Otherwise I'd create a distance first to see their intentions from afar.
