Yes, that's been my experience too. It takes some getting used to, and I have to remind myself that what happens in the West doesn't happen everywhere else. In some ways, I appreciate that kind of frankness more so than the "niceties" that we're taught in the US.

No, you answered it.
It's tough when you have to face these kinds of assumptions. I guess what matters most is how you deal with them when they arise.
