Seeking Honest Feedback About Telling Your Secrets

This may seem odd to anyone viewing this discussion, but I really need to get some advice and a general idea of how people are more comfortable about spilling their hidden secrets. I would like to create a webpage/site and set up some kind of communication directly from myself and the customer. The main idea behind this is to give someone with either guilt or frustration over their secret(s) an outlet to 'let it all out'. Most people, and I know this from personal experience, would rather tell their secrets to strangers rather than family/friends. First, there is the trust issue-one would not know if their secret will be told to others. Secondly, many secrets could hinder relationships with other people. I figured a good way of therapy would be to take on the secrets of others. It always helps to have an outlet to talk about things, certainly things you don't think you could tell anybody. I would like to be personally involved in some way, other than just charging a small fee (like, .50 cents or something smaller). I'm more intersted in helping people feel better. Getting things off their chests, so to speak. I wouldn't know their identity, so I hope that would encourage people to trust me with their secrets/confessions. Here's where I need your opinions. Please be honest! :) This will help me better. I would like to know how the viewers of this post would be most comfortable telling their secrets. Would you rather tell something serious to family or friends, or would you actually be more comfortable spilling it all to someone else that wouldn't judge you? Also, do you think it would be worthwhile for me to set the whole thing up? In other words, do you think people would be intersted in this kind of service/interaction? Thank you everyone!

First question: it depends on the secret really as whether or not I would tell family or strangers. Second question: yes I thank people would be interested in this kind of service, but I think you have been beatin to it. Just about every forum you come to, this is happening for free in many cases or like here...they even get paid for it.
