I realize when I'm really upset or just in a very depressed mood, I always come here.

It's hard to reach out to people you know and they always tell me they are here for me but I feel like a complete nuisance and sometimes it's just easier to talk to people that you barely know, does the sound awful? It probably does...

It does not sound awful at all.

Before the Internet, people went to bars and vented to the bartender or to fellow bar patrons, all of whom they barely knew.

That probably still happens.

At least here, you don't have to leave a tip or pay for other people's drinks!

@DrWatson I am way too introverted for that haha! But it doesn't sound too bad.
I'm very grateful to the internet and social media, I love connecting people without having to leave the comfort of my home.

@Itsjustbrit That's horrible...

Since strangers barely know you, they don't judge u and u won't notice any difference in their behavior. They just listen to u. Maybe that's why it's easier to open up to some stranger.

I understand. That's also why I like Asian hookers with no English, the anonymity of the encounter decreases its embarrassment.
Itsjustbrit26-30, F
@UpForItNow yeah, that makes complete sense. Very understandable

Comfort of strangers is no bad thing, in my opinion. I'm glad here helps you.

It doesn't sound awful at all. It's a strange thing how much easier it is to be honest with people you don't know. Perhaps because you don't care as much about how they view you? In a way, it's not much different than the old tactic of writing a letter to no one just to get the words out. And it's a chance to hear things from a perspective you haven't heard before. Which I suppose is the entire point of this place, isn't it?

It takes off the expectations and pressure so no it's not awful at all. It's very common.
