Ive always found that speaking to family they always say what you want to hear they dont give options. Ive spoke to a few people about their problems (friends mainly) and they always tell me that they found it more comfortable talking to then to their own family. Which was nice to know but i just wondered what others preferred.
People generally speak out of their own personal experiences which means a narrower view than the more select few who set their mind to creatively listing & analying various options-that for them -they would not choose.
As you get to know people, by observing their lives & families, you may be more apt to seek out the wiser for such advice , if you want to talk to someone.
I enjoy asking people thier opionions -even If I might not agree, I still like hearing them, it just helps you get to know people better.
If I feel like a family member or a friend is trying to tell me "what to do", I really don't get offended by this, but I explain to them why that wouldn't work for me, or give other ideas that I feel would.
i normally seek advice from friends that have knowledge of whatever situation i may be going through or a close family member that came advise me constructivly and objectively. most people get caught up in hearing what they want to hear from people to make them feel better. i have also found that advice from family or friends that tends to be pickingly negative, i stray away from.
I don't want my family knowing my business(unless its hubby), so I'd ask strangers advice(online) for personal reasons.
