It is a bit of a strange thing, but it really boils down to what people wish to divulge about themselves.I'm really quite fond of the pseudo-anonymity of places like this, you get to be a lot more honest about yourself. For example if someone IRL asked me a question about exactly how I ended up ill, they'll get a lot of half-truths and have a nice socially palatable picture painted for them.Whereas online, if someone wanted to see my case notes so to speak I'd have no problem with letting them know the details of how I ended up as a basket case. Even within that, there are still a few topics I don't really discuss outside of people I trust a fair amount. Like everyone will know of the e.e but there aren't many who I've told the specifics about it because it's not really something I enjoy talking about.The internet is a wonderful place, even if the people you see everyday on it are still in effect strangers it's not an unpleasant situation imo.

Mainly cause we have not moved our relationship beyone these sites. Mostly due to the belief that internet and real life should stay seperate.

Maybe it's comforting to talk to someone and not have meaningful context about the person?

It was for me during highschool as I was reserved due to expectations from family both socially and academically and what I wanted to do.Still though if opportunity arises I would be okay with opening up my relationship to others if they do the same. Hell I might end up visiting one of the members on here when I backpack through New Zealand.
I am of the don't ask don't tell mindset, that's why I don't say much
