is it save to share your thoughts or ur personal feelings to strangers?
if you're starving for friendship, i suppose you would. whether that makes it right or wrong, safe or unsafe, is a 50/50 chance.
I don't see the harm. You might come off as a nutter, but who cares, you're probably never going to see that person again. If looking crazy is your concern then your absolute safest bet at sharing your thoughts with a stranger comes in the form of counselors, psychologists, priests, (or their equivalent) and psychiatrists. You can gab all you want and not have to worry about what they think of you, they're trained to listen without judgment. Granted they may cost a little (or a lot) of money to enlist their services but none of your information will be shared.
If your intention is to make a friend, I would say to just strike up a conversation with someone. Leave personal stuff out unless the two of you are comfortable enough to go down that road.
Depends if they're dependable to keep things private. Its also easier to confess things to people you don't know, if you're aware you may not see them again. There is some comfort in knowing if they are unscrupulous people, they will not be able to trace you, or use it against you.

If you had a problem would you talk to a stranger about it? If you felt like no one listened to you and no one cared. You were also feeling really bad about something would you feel comfortable talking to a stranger knowing that you would probably never see them again unless you wanted too?

Is being in a "friends with benefits" relationship a good idea?One of my best friends is (just recently) in this kind of situation with one of her guy friends. It is none of my business what she does or doesn't do, but I just wanted to get a general idea of how common this is, and is it...

What do we do when a guy friend turns into something more? When feelings of friendship blossom into something more romantic than sharing giggles and talk of school work?What are we meant to do, girls? Confusing, isn't it? When we go for it, we jeopardize our friendships. When we don't, we very well...
