I have no idea why but this happens with most people in my family and we can even trace it back to my great grandma.
I think it does come down to listening actively, but also by sharing a sense of openness and vulnerability. When you're honest about yourself with others, they're more likely to be honest with you.

Autism is genetic, and many undiagnosed autistic children will become much harder to diagnose as adults because they will over adjust from their social awkwardness and become incredibly active listeners.
They'll often be told they're "easy to talk/open up to" because they maintain great eye contact, nod along and give little responses throughout a story.
I'm not saying you're autistic necessarily, but the experience you're explaining is one that I've had and many people I've known have had
Lmao you don't have to.
So all I gotta do is cure this gosh-dang autism and people will stop?
The 4chan version of autism doesn't have this issue as much, I'd guess. You could give that a shot
It's genetic?
Thank you for the reaction image and good luck with knowing too much about the people around you
