It's a way to receive unbiased opinions. Whereby if they told their inner most feelings to their friends, the advice would probly be what they wanted to hear, instead of the truth.

It's a sort of safe exhibitionism.
They can't exactly parade their innermost, sickest (and sometimes entirely fictional) thoughts, actions, and opinions in their hometown, but they get the best of both worlds on the Web.
They can draw in attention and then detach if things go wrong.

Sometimes it's easier to talk to a stranger. Would you want your family and friends to know certain things about you?
