Is Sharing feelings to a known friend ( offline ) or unknown friend ( online ) a healthy idea ?
Can you help me coming to a conclusion ?
Thank you

Some people are seriously empathetic,
and sympathetic. Whether face to face,
or on line, it all depends on the person
you’re sharing your feelings with.

Pretty much agree with David Redpath. It does depend upon the person. I’ll make a couple other distinctions also.
First is to use a little caution and common sense with online folks. Aside from the obvious potential safety reasons, the reality is that most people view internet friendships far less seriously than “real” (world) ones. They can quickly ghost you if you offend or over-burden them.
Second is don’t let venting become a substitute for coping and dealing with problems. If you find yourself getting into a victim mentality or dependent upon said friend to cope, you’re over-burdening and not dealing with your problems yourself.
Long story short, it’s a balancing act. Friends are supposed to be there to help you, but not to carry you. 🙂

Trust is the single most important factor.

A known friend, yes, if you can trust this person. An unknown person, online or offline, it depends on the person. But in any case, feelings need to be shared.

We live in the world where things are fast pace and unpredictable… some times we need to connect and share our feelings to people who don’t judge us and accepts u as you are. Sometimes an intense emotional feeling is better convey to an unknown friend than to a known frd…. And Trust is the basic relationship for known or unknown .it’s a foundation which the building is built.
Thanks for sharing .God bless you abundantly !!!!
