Are there personal things that you have found easier to tell a relative stranger about than to tell any friend or family member about? What, if so?

That I was having an affair

I tell Survey Central all.

I'd rather be dead

Anon - If that was a serious comment on wanting to be dead, is this something you'd like to talk to us about? We're here to listen...

Of course.

Sorry, y'alls aren't quite "relative stranger"s enough...

Yes. Most of my close friends tend to talk a lot, so I end up listening whenever we engage in conversation. Because of that, it's kind of hard to bare my soul when I need to. So, when I want to talk to someone, I usually go to this girl I know from school. She's my friend, and she both talks and listens. I really don't know her that well, but she's helped me out a lot since the short time I've known her.

I (sniff)... use survey central. My parents just wouldn't understand. I knew you would, though

there there, it's gonna be OOO KKK...

I am constantly reminded how incredible the communication is with the people I love. There is no detail too personal, too stupid, too sincere, too anything to that I cannot find the right person to share it with.

I think it's much easier to tell strangers things because they're not going to tell anyone you know (you hope) and it helps you figure out the best way to say it before you tell someone who really matters

No. While it's often easy to talk to people online about personal things, I can always talk to my SO about anything, so she's always the first to know.

I used to talk openly to everyone (friends and strangers; not parents) about everything. That changed with a bunch of other things in my life.

I tell each one of my friends a secret about me. They each know something that the other doesn't. I don't like people knowing everything about me. I don't tell strangers anything about me.

You just did :)

yes...relationship problems...I don't know why....

There are things I'll tell my doctor that I wouldn't tell my SO. It's sad, actually.

I've come out to total strangers, but managed to go on a two-week cruise with my grandmother without coming out to her.

I am changing my answer. I have realized recently that it is easier to say things to SC users than it is to any of my friends or family.
