Why is it ....?

It is due to shyness. When nobody is looking people can open their hearts more. Even a psychiatrist who is trustworthy and people visit him to talk and discover what is wrong with them, he sits in front of the patient but beside his head a little bit behind the range of his vision. I think that yahoo Q/A comforts many people because they can speak their minds without fear of being criticized.

I have met online friends and been talking with them for more than a year now and told them things that I won't normally tell my friends for years. I don't know, maybe it's the fact that they're far, so losing them after being open to them and knowing all your dark secrets is not gonna hurt that much because you did not have this sort of connection with them anyway?

Farah......really...... What a question !!!
I was just thinking of that myself ....... Why I tend to tell my secrets to online friends and not to everyday friends??!!

may be coz I won't probably meet them so i open up freely..

I'll tell ya an examle , which will make it easy for you and me ,
When you type a joke here on Yahoo! Answers , or while chatting with somebody.....everybody's responce will be like "HA HA HA HA , LOL , this is sooo funny " , but the thing you won't know at that time is that , If he/she is really laughing or not !
I think this explains it , no ?

Trust is a part of human nature. We tend to believe in others and think that world is a beautiful place.
The worst part about it is that some times the people you have trusted and considered true friends take you for granted and disrespect you, and not be there for you when you are being insulted by other people.
Being able to trust is a great thing, but feeling that your trust has been misplaced is a horrible thing.

Ranoush(ppl thumbed me down:p)

i totaly agree with....beacuse whatever you say..this stranger can't hurt you with the information you give....
and i dunno why but strangers seems to listen to you more than actual poeple...
i dunno...that's how i feel

this is true to a great extent.
people are afraid to open their hearts to those who know them. they prefer to speak their minds to strangers online or on the phone to feel safe from being judged.
however, what they say isnt exactly true. i know that a marriage that comes after a long communication on the phone isnt expected to succeed. this takes place in conservative families where girls spend their lives speaking on the phone.
on the phone we hide many things and act a lot. so v little is known to the partner. that partner listens to smething and his/ her imagination provides the rest of the picture.if they get married, he/she will discover that he /she fell in love with the creation of his/her imagination.

well...i can tell some of my friends tons of things that i won't do here...we are somehow no longer anonymous i guess..

yes i know what u mean
may be if i told an actual individual that i meet every day something he'll always reminds me with it every time he sees me but never an online friend
it happened with me
i know a friend since 5 years n i tell him everything n he does too although we never met in real
sometimes i feel shy to tell an intimate friend something but never my online one

I think it's cause you feel that they don't know you so they won't be able to judge you.
If I tell you something negative now, you'll be like "you don't even know me, so you can't judge me!!!". But if one of your "real" friends told you the exact same thing, you'll know it's true....

Maybe we can go back to our childhood days and seek friendships with no expectations whatsoever. We can move safely online and express ourselves with no fear of interrupting our lives in anyway. But to be honest, my online friends have become a part of my every day life and if it happens that I meet any of you guys, you will not be a complete stranger to me. :-)

@hm@d {War Against Noub!}

I think we are more comfortable talking face to face with a person you have known long. And yeah, I think anonymity makes it easier sometimes, not always..
And remember, 'Don't talk to strangers."
That's what my mum always tell me, like all mothers.

Adham 1910

u know something!i have been asking this Q to myself alooooooooot
may be the answer is that cuz we are afraid that we are misunderstood or being offened
hiding behind the screen may make us some confident and comfortable and trust too
i dont really know i once tried to open my heart to my cosin but it was also through chat then the main problem is meeting face to face not from the persons u meet isn't it?

hey beautiful

yes you are right!!! i dont understand why but it is true!!

maybe i would undersand if you give me best answer?? lol kidding

For me its easyer to talk from person to person, then i know to who i talk, now .....no ! you don't know to who you talk even its a man or a girl

may be because, for me, i need to reach the degree of being in harmony with my soul and others, and also to be true in what i'm saying.
and i love what "super star" said on laughing.......... actually, when i write "lol" or "hahaha".......... i'm really laughing.
i'm so frank with myself and others, fears nothing as long as i'm obedient to what Allah said.
it's in my nature to be frank, Hamdulliah, and it's the same ideology by which i'm treating others, for i always expect the same behaviour from them ; i.e to be also frank with me.

wat a good question Farah
but it seems very hard
really i never thought about it but when u asked i remembered
because its from our character and personality
if someone is embarresed all the time and introvert heshe will see chatting a good idea for expressing or saing the feelings
if this person is extrovert and outgoing having a strong personality heshe will see chatting like speaking and there is no diffirence
not all feel this Farah but i feel:)
nice question
yala salam :D
