easy to talk to strangers than to familiar ones

I think talking to strangers are easier because they listen to your problems and then try to come up with a positive comment to cheer you up and help out. Which is mostly what we needed when we're in trouble - to boost our spirits up when we're down. Sometimes it's very difficult to talk to close friends because you are afraid they would judge you. But if you have a best friend or a brother/sister you can talk to it would also be good because they are able to tell you not only the good things but the bad too if there would be like a bad consequence to what you are thinking of doing or not doing. They are your close friend/s so they are not afraid to speak out. But if your friends are like constantly putting you down or judging you then better not talk to them and I guess they really are not your true friends.

I'm just curious how you requests friends on an account with your nick name. If I don't know who someone is I wouldn't accept them as a friend. I assume a lot of people are that way. Could you explain your process? Best Wishes!

Sometimes I get depressed over my phisical issues. I don't like to talk to my friends, because I don't want them to feel bad. In that case talking to a stranger was much easier. I was seeing a therapist for awhile, and it was easier to tell her some things because she didn't really know me.

I have the same case. I think it is a lot easier to express your opinion when you talk to strangers. I have not yet thought about the reason to this. All I know is that strangers seem to be more receptive compared to someone you already know. I also think that familiarity kills the mystery. It is nice to talk to someone you don't know because somehow there is a mystery there. You just want to open up and slowly advance to the line called "familiarity" That is my take on this. Good day ^^

Yeah, i was thinking of doing the same that you did. Because i have an account on facebook with my real name and i hate all people that i know in real life.people became unnormal. so i think i'll create a new account. strangers are always kind to me and polite. i was communicating with them on twitter. it's very great. try it. also there's a web sites that were named "talk to stranger". I used to visit them but now i don't have much time. as for me, strangers are better. :)
