Depends on the person and the situation.
Total stranger and absolutely no reason for you to walk up and talk to me except for niceties (hello, excuse me, do you know where.....), 2 or 3.
Total stranger but at a mutual event/location, 4 to 6.
Total stranger but introduced by a mutual acquaintance, 6.
Never met but have heard about the person, depends on what I've heard, 3 to 6.
The first 5 minutes of exchange can change the initial numbers. Rarely will anyone exceed 8, even with time. Those that do I can count on one hand.
If two strangers knock on my front door, they don't even get ranked.
Maybe I have trust issues. I definitely keep most people at arms length.

Being told you're delusional does not necessarily mean you're mental.
