Talking to un/known people

Hey there,
I felt like opening a thread.
I wanted to ask you guys how you feel about talking to people about your secrets, opinions, fears or even embarassing moments.

I feel that it's easier to talk people i don't know and when I'm anonymous if it's about my beliefs or thoughts, like in the threads "What's keeping you alive?" and "Mortality" to name two threads. Even if it's about love or if I want other people's opinions on specific topics.
I guess it's the fear of the reaction people who i know will give me if i talk to them.
Additionally I have to say that I'm a textrovert (It's easier to write those things then to actually talk about them).

So I was thinking if people feel the same or if I'm in a minority.

P.S.: Do you think it's a bad thing to keep your fears or yourself and try to solve your problems alone?

On another note, sorry if such a thread was already existing, I looked at the first 6 pages and didn't know what to search for in the dearch function.

Honestly I do feel more comfortable about talking about my problems with ppl i know because its a whole lot easier about bringing it up. But thing is I dont have a problem talking to some random stranger(which ive already done a few times)about problems ranging from sexual crap to maybe a death in the family. Just some things are easier to bring up than others.

well, I believe it depends on the situation. For support, guidance, and personal things I prefer to talk with my real friends. If it is something personal that i don't want anyone to know if it is about me or not, or if I just want public opinion then i go to the Internet.

Honestly I like to keep my problems and such to myself. So far there have only been two people that I could talk to about anything and sometimes I think it might have been a mistake. I like to deal with my shit myself. It makes me uncomfortable when I have a serious discussion about myself with other people.

I just prefer to keep things to myself. It doesn't matter whether I know them or not. But thats just about secrets or problems or such (for me)personal shit. My opinions I give freely, if someone asks for them.

My problem just my alone i like to keep it to my self at least something serious happen.

I generally deal with my problems myself, why should I annoy someone else with my problems? The only time I'd consider talking to someone else is if I really thought I needed help, but so far I've been fine on my own.

I'm often an open book. I rarely will willingly divulge information about myself to most people. However, if anyone happens to ask a question that may otherwise be private, personal or taboo, I will usually answer truthfully. I don't really have any reason to hide anything about myself. Not as though there is something so direly secretive about me that no one can know about.

Im more of a closed and careful person... Its more of a habit, I usually tend to not tell anyone anything that isnt needed if they do not ask. So I usually do not start conversations about my life, I am very comfortable of keeping anything about myself, to myself. I have no problems talking to strangers if neccessary but I have if it involves giving my personal informations..

If its to people I know, the most I would share is stuff like where I live that kind of basic info, I like to keep my secrets to myself and myself only, I do not think sharing secrets/heavy personal information is something I would do to anyone if not neccesary.

I dont like talking to people about my problems mostly because most people i know are assholes. But there are times when i dont mind telling secrets, in fact there some people here i dont mind telling :P

I don't talk to people about my problems, but people tend to spit out everything to me, because they know I won't talk about it with anyone else.
If I'm feeling like telling my personal things to someone, it gives me this enormous feeling of weakness... like some small dwarf in your head saying "you're such a pussy that you have to tell someone? WE ARE OVER!"

It actually drove me a little paranoid. Lately I'm often thinking that if I got to the situation that noone recognized me, I would either have some common or easy-to-find-out info about me, and not a single "secret" I would be sure only 1 person would know. Lol, I'm getting crazy.

I don't talk. I wait for people to talk to me, or if the matter is related to me on some level. If you happen to be my classmate, you'll notice I'm that guy seating at the back, sketching hentai or playing monster hunter. But when I find something that needs to be said, like if the professor is stupid enough to mistake the red sea for the dead sea, I raise my hand and corrects the fuck out of him.

I'm shy, but I don't avoid conversations, whether it be from someone I know or do not know. Plus, I need to talk to unknown people when I happen to be in a class where I don't know anybody and I really need to borrow a pen.

I would have to say Unknown, if you are talking about something seriously like love and romance it is advantageous to consult someone who is in the same environment as you and also trusts you. However what makes this difficult is that it becomes less of a secret due to this fact.

Unknown is good idea because well, they only know you through the computer, you can go heart to heart to someone if you don't know him that well and he will possibly do the samething. But because it is hard to distinguish whether or not this person is trustworthy it is still very risky.

Its like a double ended blade.

Fuck, you are my long-lost twin! (or something xD)

You should of added a pick for both? cause I talk about funny personal events to random people i just met, and than they and i become friends after laughters.

Edit: For some weird reason. Being anonymous makes me shier for some reason. My personality dramatically alters to a more introvert personality.

I misread X.X i think...haha..

Well, I think I'm more comfortable talking about personal things with someone I know (except for my parents) instead of talking with a complete stranger.

But personally, I'd prefer to keep things to myself and being silent (works better that way).

And sometimes, I found myself talking to 2D fictional characters or my female 2D figurines (-.-').

Unknown because I can be an Idiot how much I want and wont care about it... Damn I love internet perfect stress reliever XD

I enjoy talking to people I don't know yet. My real life friends know I'm notorious for disappearing for weeks/months on end. In this time frame, I am either in Chat or here, my online journal, or walking through town acquainting myself with people I don't know yet. I don't know why I'm like this. I don't get easily bored with people, but I guess I do dread the repetitiveness of conversations. I never want to think badly of people or have them give me a reason to think badly of them. Naturally, talking to someone for a long time can develop one or more reasons to think badly of them. I always find it's too much pressure reacquainting myself with people I already know, and it's easier to acquaint myself with people who don't know me yet. I don't know why this is, either.

If I had to choose, I'd rather talk about something like that to people I know. But if it comes up in conversation somehow with really anyone, I don't mind using my personal experiences as an example. (Whatever it may be.)
