Britons show true emotions while online, concludes a new survey.
Around 20% of the survey's participants revealed that they were more likely to be honest about their wellbeing when asked "How are you?" while using a social networking site or e-mail.
The study for healthcare company Bupa polled 2,224 adults via YouGov in March as part of its "How are you Britain?" report.
Bupa Health and Wellbeing medical director Katrina Herren said: "Sharing an emotion with people who listen and don't judge it to be good or bad can not only make you feel better but improve communication between you and others and maintain your mental wellbeing."
