regarding the online thing, you've got to admit that it's a strange thing.
i mean, if you talk to someone you know- they could then spread it around, turn against you, etc etc. really ruin your life.
talking to people online does not always carry that ris, especially if that person has no idea who you are, and likewise
so why on earth do we get anxious when it comes to talking to people we don't know about a problem,, knowing that the person in question can't judge us as harshly as say a friend or family member
it's strange
anyway i'm glad you post here.. keep reaching out to us
