SOME places in the world we DO speak to strangers.. so much so that you can't get away from it if you desire.
That was the biggest discomfort for me when I lived in those areas outside of the deep south (and no, despite its location, Florida is NOT considered south.. any more than California is considered west) is that NO BODY SPOKE.. even if you lived next door to them for a year or more, they still would not acknowledge you verbally. WEIRD.
I spent three solid days in the parks, and hardly spoke to anyone.
