And no, I don't live in a small town. Â And yes, this is completely normal here. Â It happens everywhere I go here.
Do you live in the Southeast US, perchance?You've just described it to a "T." I guess I've gotten used to it from living here for so long, but random conversations are the way of it in this part of the country.
To the larger point, whether you jump into conversations and how you react to that is really a function of IC, IMO. Some characters I've played (L'yhta, as an example) are the sort to get into others' business and enjoy people getting into their conversations, while I've played others that find both highly rude, and some who are a mix; for instance, I had one who would never join others' conversations, but enjoyed people joining hers (she was a bit odd).
Not the Southeast, but I live in Louisiana. Â ^_^ Â It's a little bit different down south of where I am (it's actually more everybody in your business down there, except for New Orleans, which is an outlier in terms of culture). Â Seriously some of the most hospitable people I've ever met. Â I still miss Baton Rouge. Â ^_^
