Do you find it easier to open up to someone you have never met or to someone who is really close to you and have known you all your life?

Strangers because they don't have much to judge me

Animals are preferable to humans in such circumstances.

Time known never matters. How they connect with me does.
I've been able to share things with almost strangers I've not shared with close friends.

depends on the subject. I have a friend that i can say anything to and will never judge my thoughts but is pruely there to listen to my issues, and i do the same

either or neither really, i dont usually feel a need to volunteer information but ill talk about anything if someone asks

The stranger, no consequences.

Either

Someone who I never met

Someone i don't know is easier to talk to. Growing up i realized people always took conversations meant to be between just 2 people & using it to talk shit behind their back twisting the information to make you look dumb or whatever they wanted.
