Ah.. actually that makes total sense. Most of us do better with vetted people. I guess the big difference is that some of your life choices (the serious travel bug in particular) throw you in the way of wide acquaintance. That looks to the uncritical eye like daunting gregariousness, when in fact it's just that each acquaintance would be breaking through the wash of solitude that travel creates. (Or at least that's how it would work for me.) People are greater gifts when you've shifted out of your context, I find.
