I know what you mean about the people in the box thing. It's like, you can tell ME about your sort-friend who committed suicide because it's not going to ruin my day or make me over-solicitous or anything. At the most, when you reveal a trauma online, people send you little {HUGS} and stuff. It's not nearly so annoying as having people want to REALLY hug you, question you, and look all concerned and stuff as they try to make you spill your guts. [shudder]
