i think that u hav to be really careful about this guy, but so long as u dont do webcam or arange to actually meet him alone or tell him ur street address u shud be ok
maybe about the way that you cant be ur self around these zombie "people" is that in public situation you feel that ur personality is repressed? also maybe whith thee places being better than where u r now is the subconsious need to escape from where you r now?
