Some wise woman told me many years ago that the only way I would be able to stop everyone telling me their life stories was to become a therapist and make listening a career. I did that but they still come up to me and tell me stories anyway! :) <br /><br />Over time I have learned how to put up a "distant" vibe that works if I remember to do it. It's hard to explain but it's a mental attitude thing combined with a "wall" of energy that seems to stop people I've never seen before approaching. Generally I don't mind listening but at some point it becomes really time/energy-consuming and of course I end up needing one of these sweaters!

I'm also like you, no matter where I go I attract someone who needs to tell me their life story and their kids life story and their grandkids life story... I just can't seem to avoid them and I've tried not making eye contact, keeping my head down everything I can think of but they always find me. I don't want to be rude so I wind up listening.
