Have you ever had a complete stranger confide in you?

This happens to me quite very often. I believe that most of us have had this experience too. This is perhaps because of the fact that we find it easier to confide with people whom we do not know much because we know that they will not judge as as most friends would do. Of course, we have to be very careful considering that they are total strangers. They might just be checking how vulnerable we are when it comes to these situations and take advantage of such vulnerability.

yes! and goodness i do not need to know all the details! what do i look like, their confessor? It amazes me how many people will balk at the efficacy of the confessional, but then precede to share the most intimate details of their life, especially things they are ashamed of and feel guilty for.
