You have both a very welcoming and inclusive attitude towards what you do and, at the same time, a great ability to assess how it might be best for a person with x experience and issues may go about doing y thing.

Heh, also the enthusiasm of another person willing and able to drag me along and poke me with enthusiasm triggers the "people want your company/want you to do things with them" which is similar and sometimes tied up with your push of "people COUNT on me!" to make me get off my butt and do them. (I also respond to, "You MUST DO THIS or WE WILL DIE!"--but let's hope we never need that, k? K But let's leave that for advanced work--or not at all, ever!!)

I need to add: Want to hike glacier in Alaska trail thing that Laura talked about doing. WANT. But..I am a cold and snow person. (I think. I used to be, anyway. Frostbite scares me, though.)
Mebbe we could go see penguins? Penguins are cool. As are polar bears. (PBs are tied with favorite animals to see at zoos, but we should not visit them in the wild. *nods*)
