Why Is It Easier To Talk To Stangers Over The Internet Rather That People I Know in Person?

Over these months that everything that has happen I have found my self connected to the computer using all my time talking to people I really don't know. I tell them about my life and almost everything that I can't tell the people around me. i have found that they are not as judgemental of things I say or have done. They give great advice, and it seems easier talking to a complete stranger that someon I have known for years. The conversation isn't deep and it just flows. I sometimes feels as if i have known these people my whole life and they just undrstand me. And i know i shouldn't be dumping my life on people I never met but it just comes out. I don't know I'm just rambling now.

Well basically thats the question now I just need answers.
