Why do people ask you personal questions?

[LinkxPeach]

Sometimes, someone asks me a question about, “how many siblings do you have?”, “where do you lived?”, etc.

Could be part of their culture. Years ago I volunteered to teach an elderly community of Russians on how to use computers, smartphones, and tablets. When I first sat with each of them 1-on-1 they started asking me personal questions. Later I spoke to my mom about it and she said it's part of old Soviet communication style.

They want to get to know you better.
