I asked cuz somehow I just feel perfectly fine venting all my family drama on here, but if I ever “make friend” irl, I don’t think I could ever share it.
Communicating with strangers through a screen takes away a lot of awkwardness. That’s not strange. It doesn’t surprise me that you can be more emotionally open here. Personally I’m just very open in general.
I wonder if the stakes just feel lower here - I’ve noticed I express myself a lot more readily when I’m not talking to a peer, for a similar reason (lower stakes)
