I'm always surprised when it happens. 99% of the time I'm just tolerated, but every once in a while someone asks. Happened last night. I was sooooooooo happy.
haha, sorry if it made you uncomfortable! It's a really common cue on a lot of profiles 😅 So many people use the apps now you just get used to the idea that everyone knows
I find that asking specific, pointed, open-ended questions over time usually gets people to open up. "You said, blah-blah, can you explain that more? I'm not familiar." and just listen.
