lets just say an internet friend, new acquaintance, or someone you just met a few days .... how long does it take you to open up to new friends or to a stranger?

Hi Dear!
Opening up with new friends will depend upon many factors. If s/he is an on-line friend, I do not mind sharing about me, provided the other fellow is interested in knowing about me and also comfortable in sharing about him/her. In real life, I do not open up with strangers very soon. It takes some time. If I feel that I am able to understand the nature of the stranger and s/he is going to gel with me, then only I start sharing about me. Basically, I am a shy person.........LOL!

for me i am easy to open up myself to them if i think they are just common people as me.most of people are kindly i think.don't think that they are different from you a lot.good attitude will be helpful i think.


myLot reputation of 97/100. HelScream (709)   ranked 15 out of 19,485 in questions & answers  6 months ago

well I guess open up to some strangers wont do much of a harm and being friendly would only add another friends on your list right thumbup

Hello.
Some basic info's will do but not all out especially when we just met on the internet, maybe it'll took a weeks, but it's still depends my feeling towards him/her, if i feel like he/she is a good person,then why not become friends,right?. I think it's dangerous if we open up easily to a stranger some information about us,especially those confidential information that's why we need to take a lot of care when we talk to strangers. Happy mylotting.


myLot reputation of 97/100. HelScream (709)   ranked 15 out of 19,485 in questions & answers  6 months ago

yeah I think that too must be put into consideration.... Well I only let thme know what is needed in any friendship anything more is too much to say I guess.... It wil took them ages to get to know me better lol w00t

Sometimes, it's easier to talk to your friends online than to your family or friends at home because they give unbiased advices. I have observed that I got different reactions from my online friends to things I said than from the ones at home. I do not really share everything, but somethings which can be told with no harm done is fine. I don't think it will be a problem if you open up to strangers, until and unless you are sure they can be trusted.

I don't open up to strangers easily at all. It may seem that way to some people because I have no issues striking up a conversation or talking about many different things, but personal information about myself will be kept very close to my chest until such time as I've reached a level of trust and comfort woth a person. The time it takes for me to reach this level depends on the person and the situation really. Sometimes it can take a matter of days, sometimes months! There are many people I've known for years even that I wouldn't ever share personal information with. Every situation is different. I just hope I'll always have the wisdom to know who I can trust and who I can't!


myLot reputation of 97/100. HelScream (709)   ranked 15 out of 19,485 in questions & answers  6 months ago

same goes with me well my friend it really takes time to know and to trust
but even with time we can never tell what kind of person our friends are
been betrayed many times.... As my mom say never trust anyone except yourself...

It is easy for me to accept a friend as my friend even they were a strangers, but not easy for me to trust them just in a short period. Being open up to a new friends i don't think that's a wise decisions for me because i don't know them well, and they don't to me too.

Here on MyLot where no one knows my real name, I will tell stories about my life if can help. In real life I won't tell anything until I know you real well. My Mylot friends know more about my past than my offline friends. Don't get me wrong, if a close friend asks a question I'll answer but I don't just tell them.
