Sharing with a stranger!!!

Its so weird that sometimes it is so easy to confide feelings and problems in a total stranger than discussing it with someone you know. With a stranger I hardly have to worry about being judged or the chances of word getting out or even my reputation getting tarnished.

While chatting with a stranger I never have to worry about how anything I say might affect them because they don't know me and I don't know them. Also this person is not part of my day to day life so I don't have to worry about someone reminding me of the issue and its consequences. There is a good chance that this discussion might find a great solution to the problem on hand, something I might have missed or something I might not have thought about, as this person would listen to what the problem is rather than think about how it will affect them.

I can confide my most embarrassing incident of life and don't have to worry about what this person might think about me or how this might affect the relationship between us, as I have very less invested in this relationship or worry about others finding this out. If this person does not react in a way you expected, it is very easy to break off and find another person to talk to!!!

There are no strangers here; Only friends you haven't met (William Butler Yeats). So who knows this stranger might become the "friend you haven't met" with great advices, just like in "You've got mail" and "Mitr - My friend"!!! :) :) Everyone should have such stranger as friends in life with whom they can share anything and everything without any worries.
