Conversation Levels

So I still don't understand the culture, and I still find myself being direct as ever yes I'm proud to be an american. What I realize is that there's different type of conversation levels here.

Where am'I getting out as Americans, we tend to talk freely about everything. Like sometimes, I'll meet someone the first time and we'll end up talking about marital problems, boyfriend problems everything. Not only that, but we're always having an opinion about everything because American culture is soo expressive. I tend to do this alot but it's hard for me to remember these levels because well I talk freely about everything. I just thought this aspect was really really interesting!!
