Have you ever had a deep, personal conversation with a stranger?

Yes, in Walmart, while waiting on a prescription, a man (gay) ( I'm saying gay because it's part of the story) started tell me about he went to his friend's wedding and he doesn't want to go to his other  friend's wedding in Dallas because "He's flamboyantly outlandishly gay and he doesn't want to go to that type of wedding OMG. He said he loves Uber and recommends them, he took out his phone to show me how it works. He was very nice.

I've had lots of conversations with strangers, but never would be comfortable having a "deep, personal" one with them.  You really never know who you're talking to or if you could trust them.

Sure. Sometimes people who aren't invested in someone's life will be the best sounding board. They will tell you the plain truth because they will never have to live with any of the repercussions of being truthful.

Yes, all the time. For some crazy reason strangers like telling me their stories. I've had some of the most memorable experiences in that way.

Yes, but it is usually them getting into the personal part.

I am not sure if it my body language or the micro-gestures in my face, but people find me very easy to talk to. I can usually find out quite a bit about them in a short time . . . My children are amazed at this even to this day.
