Simplified Meaning:
Sometimes, it's easier to talk to someone you don't know because you don't have to worry about what they think of you. When you talk to a stranger, there are no past experiences or friendships to consider. It's a clean slate, and they have no expectations of you. An example is when you share a personal story with a taxi driver; you feel free because you know you'll probably never see them again. On the other hand, talking to people you know can be tricky because you care about their opinion and might fear judgment or misunderstandings. For someone who feels this way, a helpful tip is to practice opening up slowly with people they trust to build confidence and comfort in familiar interactions.
