Hmm, this feels interesting to me. I understand it, and I think a lot of people are like that.

I... I dunno what it is for me. I like to feel understood, and I also like to feel I don't have to 'filter' myself. It feels 'freeing' to just act/say what I am thinking etc (of course, I don't mean in a way that is harmful, hurtful, or upsetting for others. I'm not talking about saying hateful or insulting stuff!)

But just... letting people know what I'm excited about, interested in, or when I'm happy/sad.

Eh, maybe I am a bit of an attention seeker. Those who have seen 'real life' me may agree that this is the case heh. Though, I don't feel it's 'attention seeking' exactly. But I'm not sure what the word is.

But, I am one of those people who will chat to strangers. I often make temporary friends while travelling on the train, etc. I chat to people in cafes/coffee shops. Like, the pubs I frequent, I know the regulars and chat to the landlord/landlady etc. (I solicit life advice in a pub I'm a regular at [when not in lockdown]). There's a group of mostly retired folk there who I occasionally present my life options to (eg. should I apply for this job?) and get them to vote on what I should do haha!

I (in my rambling and sudden thought process way) have also just had a thought about this type of how 'share-y' someone is as a form of compatibility. I think I'd struggle to have a relationship with someone who wanted to be very quiet/private/secret about stuff, because I'd find it difficult to filter myself from sharing things. I hate feeling like I have 'secrets'.
