Why is it way easier for me to talk to random strangers than people I know?

1. Something that I have yet to figure out myself. I have been able to talk for hours with people I don’t know and yet people I do know, the conversation most of the times doesn’t last more than five minutes.

2. Maybe there’s just more to talk about with people you haven’t talked to a lot already. Makes sense when you think about it.

3. You can lie . I always lie to strangers I know I won’t meet ever again come up with a whole life and struggles you should try it it’s fun

4. Because you find out that most people are boring once you get to know them.

5. I think I do the same, and my guess is it’s because I care too much about what people I know/have to see everyday thinks about me, but Idgaf about what strangers think.

6. Maybe the people you know have abused you in some way form or fashion. You expect them to treat you badly, but with a stranger you don’t have those subconscious scars? Or maybe the work to keep you friendships is minimized by the fact you know each other? But I may be projecting.
