It's so cold outside..

I have the best friends. Ones that help me and support me... All I have to do is to open up for them. Why is it that I can tell anything to a blank page or to most of my online friends, but not much at all to my real life friends

I've been taught too not to show emotions openly. I think it's a Europe thing.. *Hug* <3

No, it's not just a europe thing, even though that might be part of it. I'm as corn-fed midwestern american as they come and I totally agree with what Markus has said here. I like to say it's like I have a nice parlor set up, for people to visit me in the house of my personality, arranged and decorated to give off just the right image, but nobody is ever allowed back into the messy bedroom. I like how he compares talking to online friends to talking in the dark-I am inclined to think that is the beauty of the internet, that it allows people who can only communicate true feelings when in the dark to have a perpetual dark place in which to do it, with others who feel the same way regardless of where they live.

Hugs to you both. I think we all need them.
