It’s funny how we see majority of the people confide in friends instead of family.
If you ask me why people confide in close friends instead of just friends, it’s because they are closer.
It’s that simple, we all know.
But, aren’t our family, the closest?
Don’t have a family? Well, what about your husband/wife?
Don’t have a husband/wife? What about your boyfriend/girlfriend?
Aren’t we suppose to share our problems in people we trust most?
Why don’t the majority of the people confide in their family?
Can’t be that there’s no trust, right?
I, or rather, we, are now seeing people confide in friends instead of family.
We, are now seeing people confide in friends instead of their partners(husband/wives/boyfriends/girlfriends).
People who confide in friends about family problems are excused.
Otherwise, why do people confide in people with less stature of closeness to them than in people with closer stature?
I’d say there can only be two reasons.
1. “You know the other party cannot give good advice, or isn’t good enough to share your problems.”
2. “You don’t trust the other party. He/she might let others know of your problems.”
More or less like that.
As for me, I’d prefer confiding in strangers.
I mean it, strangers who know nothing about me, strangers who know none of my friends and family.
I usually think of solutions myself, so I don’t really seek advice. All I need is someone to listen, so, I prefer confiding in strangers cauz that’s when I can assure I’m confiding in someone who doesn’t hate me, someone who has nobody else to tell me on. I feel safe that way.
If you think about it, things don’t have to be this way, things don’t have to be this hidden.
