Is it normal that i listen to every conversation around me?

Ever since middle school, I always tried to eavesdrop on other people's conversation, for no apparent reason. I have no idea why I started or why I still do it. I don't do it only when I'm bored, I basically do it all the time (at work, university, while walking down the street) as if I was trying to get information from every conversation, as if I wanted to know everything about everyone. Is it normal to ''spy'' on people like this?

    I do this too. And I feel like I know lots of random bits of info about people because of it-even when they have no idea who I am. Haha.

    Me too! I've always done this without even thinking about it. I just tend to subconsciously listen in on other peoples conversations for no reason.

    I do it sometimes, but most people are unbelievably boring.
