Random Stranger Confidence Syndrome

RSCS is a condition which causes a person to reveal a highly personal secret or factoid without provocation to another with whom they are not formerly acquainted in order to relieve the guilt complex accompanied with harbouring said secret/factoid. Most often, this takes place during innocuous social interaction, such as a client/clerk rapport, waiting at a transit stop or in line at a government services office.
A typical scenario where Random Stranger Confidence Syndrome is exhibited:

Commuter #1: Excuse me, do you have the time?

Commuter #2: It is 8:23. The bus is running a little slow today.

Commuter #1: Damn, I'm going to be late for work. I should have called in sick today and stayed home with the nanny to carry on our illicit affair. My wife would kill me if she ever found out.

Commuter #2: Oh look, here comes the bus. Nice chatting with you!

convenience friend

What you become when a "friend" only wants to see or communicate with you in a certain environment, such as at school or work, but never outside of that environment to just hang out.

Also can be a friend that only ever talks to you when they need something from you, such as a ride somewhere or help with a school assignment.
When talking to this person, you might find that you feel like you are being brushed off.
Christine: Hey Chris, i was wondering if you could send me a scan of that chemistry assignment 'cause i lost mine. Oh, and if it's not too much trouble, could i get a ride to school with you tomorrow?

Chris: Yeah, i'll scan the assignment and send it in a few minutes. i'll be at your house at about 7:45 tomorrow.

Christine: Thanks buddy

Chris: No prob. Hey, what are you doing this weekend? I was thinking about going paintballing or seeing a movie. Want to come?

Christine: I can't, i have ahh...(eyes starting shifting and hands start fidgeting) dentist apointment, but maybe after that i could, i'll txt you on the weekend.

*Chris never heard back from Christine on the weekend because Chris is just a Convenience Friend to Christine

Digital Confidence

Proactive dating to get acquainted digitally before actually meeting. Unusual, yes. Creepy, no.
Rob displayed digital confidence by posting on the wall of "the ultimate girl's night out" searching to meet a woman digitally before meeting them at the actual event. You know, so any awkwardness is avoided.
