Did you grow up in a culture that prized that ability? I've noticed that in the U.S. south, being able to make conversation was a point of pride. ("friendliness")

People who live in large cities have to put up with a bunch of bullshit on a daily basis. Panhandlers, crazy people, perverts, etc. Plus you tend not to get to know your neighbors too well.
