i've often wondered why we are able to divulge everything online or to strangers and go home to our family and loved ones and keep all of this things as secrets to be taken to the grave?
is it the anonymity?
is it because we know we'll never see these peopleagain?
is it because we fear that the things we tell those close to us will affect the way they see us?
hmmm
sigh

I think it is easier to tell something online or to a staranger. We are more comfortable with that situation. Strangers can not judge us as harshly as the ones we are closer to. We can say what we want to say without worry of the outcome.

I think that it is easier sometimes for us to open up to a complete stranger, because we will not get judged, and people that we do not know, don't know of our life, and our situations. We can ask for advice and be assured to get an opinion or advice that is not bias in any way. Sometimes those closest to us can be harder to talk to, and be too judgemental.

chipesterkhan its because our my lotfriends do not have the whims and biases of our family members and relatives. We will not be as likely to
get shot down by mylotters as by our sons and daughters and moms and dad's . this is sad but quit true. those who love us also like to whop us once in awhile ,make fun, and so on, and I say who needs that. If you are feeling down, you do not need a son to tell you to just snap out of it.
Sometimes mylotters are just kinder to us than some of our so called loved
ones.Its because families think they have a right to judge us, and I think no nobody should be judging anyone.

first and foremost, unless you're skype-ing, they can't see you and you can't see them. there's something very daunting about seeing a stranger face to face and possibly showing interest in what you have to say. another would be, it's easier to edit yourself when you're typing your thoughts, you don't just ramble on like when you're talking to somebody for the first time.
