Has anyone had a confidant? (RL or online)

Only on the Internet, and/or with remarkably good-natured people. (Or if you owe the person something – as with parent/child relationships.) Otherwise one-sided confidants get really annoying. They pay people $100/hour for that, you know.

<p>Perhaps.</p>

<p>to be honest, I did kind of get annoyed with the person who confided everything to me, although part of the reason was because he kept on calling me instead of e-mailing me for some period of time. Now though I’m happier that I got to know him well.</p>

<p>It probably kind of depends on how motivated you are in getting to know someone well.</p>

Most people substitute with things called “friends”. You get them when you remove your head from textbooks and forums, go outside, and socialize. Try it sometime.

<p>I tried before - but it’s only my internet friends who have stayed with me. Perhaps things could change. I’ll have to see.</p>
