I don't know about anyone else, but I don't remember the last time I walked in to a pub, bought my first pint and said to the nearest person, "Hi there, nice to meet you. Ninjas killed my family when I was 2, then I trained with dragoons for 10 years who let me in because I have special aether." I understand that your ninja-slaying 12 yr old dragoon might be the most interesting character ever fathomed by the human mind, but if you just lay that on me straight from the beginning, it's overbearing.
I'm not saying there's anything wrong with someone letting you know something about their past, just not all of it. That's just my opinion, though. I'm sure someone out there loves this kind of behaviour.
Oh, I definitely have had people give me their life stories irl when I've just met them in bars - but those people are typically a little loopy or looking for something, be it sympathy, attention, or money.
Also Fearthainn, if every person who responds to you seems to be "misunderstanding" you, maybe what your trying to say isn't coming out as intended? It seems like a rather surprisingly large amount of people might not be getting what you're trying to say if you still insist that's not what you mean to their responses
