Yes, sometimes. Maybe it's because they need someone that hear their problems, and don't feel well telling those things to familiars.

Why? Do you feel a human connection to only the people you know, and not to anyone else on earth? You don't care about anyone else? You don't want to hear their story? You've never watched a talk show on tv? There's big money in listening to total strangers tell their story. Why is that? Because most people are interested. You must be one of the exceptions.

Yes, there are talker and listeners. You must be a good listener. Smile and be polite. They may just need a friendly ear. If it's too much to handle politely tell them that you are uncomfortable with all the info they are telling you and change the subject.
Good Luck

It happened to me many times. I guess speaking to a stranger is a lot easier sometimes
Actually, it was only a few days ago that 2 guys started talking with me and my cousin out of the blue, and asked for advice on how one of them can propose to his girlfriend. He was obvieusly excited and nervous about the event, he showed us the ring, asked for advice, told us the story about him and the girlfriend. He is suposed to ask her tomorrow, I hope she sais yes :)

I'm usually pretty Leary about strangers who give me their whole life story. To me its like they are telling me everything that they want me to believe is true about them. Beware of people who tell you everything they "they" want you to hear. Chances are, they are trying to fool you into letting down your guard and not be suspicious of them. There is usually a motive behind it. Its like they are saying, this is me and this is how I am. But in reality, they may be totally the opposite.

Yes, sometimes it is flattering, sometimes it is annoying. I listen, sometimes people are lonely and need to connect, sometimes just listening is all a person really wants from another to help feel better.

Yes.
Usually I don't mind, that is if I'm not in a hurry. I figure either God brought them my way because I had the right word for them, or I needed a little more practice with patience.

Yes sometimes. I think it's nice. We should listen to what people have to say in order to better understand who we are and where we are going.

A stranger stops being perfect when he starts bothering me. He then becomes a pain in my behind.
Yes, strangers do this. I hate them.
