Rhetorical question (sort of)

[lotta]

Why is it easier to share the intimate details of one's life with total strangers than to share them with those we are closest to?

Comments

Because we cannot see a stranger's face (I assume you mean online)
when we share those dark parts of our lives.

With what I've been going through lately, it's been a
hell of a lot easier to talk to someone I know via only the internet
then someone face to face who keeps asking those same stupid questions.

[lotta]

Yes, you're right. Sometimes a little distance is a good thing, I guess.

[olives_]

Because we're not going to see the person again, I'd think.

Rhetorical answer

[ex_misschili604]

Because it just is.

[thekenosis]

Because strangers are less likely to ask you questions back.

[thekenosis]

strangers never say: I told you so.. or and you did the same thing last year too and the year before that, am i right? man, you never learn

[belgofiel]

Because you care about those who are closest to you.
