The openess the internet creates within people is something I have always found strange ever since I was first exposed to social media platforms. For example, many people I follow use their accounts to post about family deaths or other deeply personal/familial issues. In the real world, most people would not openly mourn to a group of strangers you hardly know, but the comfort and perceived anonymity of the internet gives these people solace. I don't hold any judgement to people who are so open to strangers on the internet- to each their own- but I don't understand how people can be so open online to some people they have never met or gauged in real life. Odd.
