Well Americans are kind of known for not keeping to themselves and being chatty with strangers, when abroad at least. Even personal questions etc. So it’s strange to draw the line at helping others.
You’re probably meeting our weirdos in those cases… Trust me we get other countries weirdos (mostly in our touristy spots) too.
We can be chatty with strangers but it’s typically very surface level stuff “what’s a nice place to eat around here”, “that’s a really cute dog”, “any recommendations for things to do while we’re here”, etc
