So what's the attraction towards interacting with everyone? That I might find out one of my neighbours is a kidnapper?

I don't like to talk to everyone I meet or even be in a city for too long as it overstimulates my senses. It is the same reason why I don't like large crowds and prefer living in the suburbs.

The far more likely scenario is that you find you have some common background, and waste an evening relating stories that you would probably never dredge up again otherwise. The world really is a surprisingly tiny place.

It takes all kinds :-)
