minor clarification

[aroraborealis]

The other day, I commented on how odd it is that people think I care about them and their problems, and then I told a story about an example of that. I've gotten several comments since then from friends who've said that, yes, they do have the sense that I care about them and their problems.

So I'd like to clarify: I do, in fact, care about you, my friends and family, and your problems. It only strikes me as odd when it's a stranger or someone I hardly know at all seems to think I'm the one to spill their life story.

Thank you. I now return you to your regularly scheduled navel-gazing and other livejournally goodness.

No, really? :) I find it amusing that this needed clarification. Were people really that easily convinced that you are secretly Heartless!Aroraborealis, bored by all of our little lives?

Kinda related, the more lost I am the more likely it is that strangers will ask me for directions. The first time I'm walking around somewhere new it's very likely to happen. When I'm somewhere that I know like the back my hand, they never ask. I have no idea what to make of that.
