When I'm feeling blue...

Yes, it's never safe to share our personal information to strangers, but you do feel like that, right, when you need someone's opinion, you need to listen to the truth and not because they know you and they could say anything just want to make you happy or the other way round.

It can also be the reason you mentioned above of being embarrassed to discuss about it with the people I know because I guess it might change one's opinion towards me. Do you feel that too??

hiya friend misterwit^^;;
i may agree or disagree hahaha
some people who are close with us will give us advice based on our backgrounds thus not giving the exact advice on that particular problem but may consider from our past attitudes and problems

Hi, Misterwit! So, you never felt like this before? I mean when you are searching for other opinions or you are facing some problems that you are not comfortable to talk with the people you are close with??

I sometimes feel that they may give me comforting words and I know family is the people we need in times of trouble, but sometimes because they know you so well that they tend to give you answers you want to hear that will only make you confused... or because they also know the other party who you have problems with too well that you will get disappointed if they don't side with you...

What do you mean I agree or disagree... ..any way what you said have some points..but not enough to convince me....

I wish that everyone here disagrees like in politics...the discussions will be so lively...

as you know, i do suck when it comes to politics
and ok, i think it's obvious that i do disagree hee hee

Hello cc...hello lucky... ...May be what you say is true but I just cannot do it....stranger is a stranger...

Misterwit ~ Even not to a total stranger? Somebody you may talk to in general for opinions and not too personal?? It will be weird to me too if somebody suddenly tell all his or her problems to me , but in this case, someone you know online or just met and ask for their opinions in general...

Ok...I get it...sorry for been a bit against..

why did you agree so immediate hakhak!

could be a total stranger like someone sitting next to you in a bus and you have a conversation along the way...or someone you had shared your table in a crowded restaurant or while waiting for your turn in a bank.
there are many strangers we meet that at first feels so awkward to talk with but find ourselves becoming comfortable as the conversation continues..

haven't you done this friend misterwit?

.... I do that, but this is different from what cc said...duh..

ok..ok.. i'm here! i'm not a stranger...

Yes, that's what I feel... Often times, I feel much more at ease writing and share my problems here because most probably in real world I am not ready to talk to the people I am close with face to face because I am scared that sometimes things can get complicated.

Hi, Lucky!

You are so right. I am searching for unbiased answers and I will normally get that from the people who don't know me in person. I know that they can only share their advices based on general point of views, but sometimes, they can really make me see the whole picture and not only part of it.

I am free most of the time....may be you gals can ask me..

hhmmm nice offer
but i don't have any problem nor something that bothers me as of now...
and you are not a stranger in mylot so i will not share

that is strange. ...but if it is personal then I guess you have no choice...and even I will never mind if you lean on me,lucky09..

Huhu... I think I will have to be in disguise...

corry, no need to cry..friend misterwit is here

misterwit, please prepare tissue for corry

Hi, Sandy!

Yes, the 'famous' phrase can be one of the reasons and I do agree that talking to someone we don't know is much easier in expressing our problems as we have no limits on what we have to say where sometimes we would omit some parts of the stories or names when we are talking to our family or close friends.

I agree with what you said about someone who is neutral and has no emotional attachments in order to express ourselves clearly. Sometimes we just become tongue-tied when someone close or a family asks about our problems, but we are able to open up freely to those who have no connections in our life before.
