Answer :

So is this question for you or us (Fluther)? If it’s for you then I would say that you, like many others, find it easy to share your true feelings through the anonymity of the internet. It’s an easy way to vent your thoughts without worrying about being judged, or even without caring what the judgment is. If the question is for us/me/Fluther then… Yes, I do. I’m much more comfortable with an audience. The bigger the better.
