People are capable of saying and doing anything, but what’s fascinating is their ability to open up to strangers. I have seen at numerous occasions where an unfamiliar person would open up to a being at coffee shop, waiting room or taxi cab.
Most of these conversations are very deep, explicit and sincere. Internet has also played a role in it. Many use it to express their anger, distrust and view on people, situation and their lives. Much of it is done at night.
Have you ever been a part of it? Have you ever open up to a stranger like that?
ALWAYS!...but then i was told to keep my mouth shut because people might take advatage of my weaknesses and get the wrong idea about me. I open up to people who i click with very quickly because i have no one at home who i can talk to on the level.

i open up to people i get along with all the time! its just part of the natural flow of the conversation i suppose. sometimes i kick myself for putting myself out there, but its how i've made some of my best and closest friends too, so meh. it is what it is :)
i think im like u, somegroovychick, as i tend to flow wid d conversation - it also depends on my mood and how quick ive summed up d person im talking to... sometimes u can jus tell dat u can talk openly wid dat person and then there are times where u feel that u cannot open up bcos of lack of trust... i think it's based on personal judgement... but i love making new friends all the time.. and this is the best way of doing so... talking to new people.. however i would'nt go as far as discussing 'deep' topics wid them..
Thanks for the responses. I really don't know what makes someone to open up so bluntly to a total stranger. Altough these conversations do stay in your head for a while. Once at a coffee shop I was minding my business than started to chat with this girl. Little bit older she bascially opened up her entire life to me. How she got married, became a nurse...even her divorce with her husband and why she left him. The domestic violence and how he nearly tired to choke her to death with a telephone chord. I went through variety of emotions and since than never saw her again. She wanted to move away from the city, I hope she is doing well....but dam these and many other moments, faces and conversations do stay with you for a while.

Wow quite a story. She must have been really pent up with supressed emotions and let it all out when she saw someone she (rightly, as it turns out) considered sensitive. Interesting to note she was slightly older. I can imagine she felt more comfortable with someone slightly younger.
I would find it hard to do that...but then again never say never cos you dont know what circumstances you can end up in and how you would react to them.
