Is this a rural area? I moved out of a very rural area at 18 but moved back 25 years later and the hardest thing to get used to was the fact that a large number of people I have never met know everything about me. Someone will start a conversation with me at a gas station, that I have never met but the know who I am, where I live, what I drive and who various members of my family are. 

The conversation will often be about how they know a cousin of mine. 

The shits unsettling to me but everybody from here thinks it’s normal.

When they are standing around gossiping (talking shit) about everybody in a 30 mile radius one of your neighbors could have brought up how that car you bought is just sitting under a tarp. Hell the fact it’s under a tarp could have passed thru 5-10 people before it got to the car seller.
