Who do you feel comfortable talking to when you have problems?

My best friend and I have know each other since we were in the 3rd grade (and we are both 60 years old now) and she is always the first one I turn to. We have experienced almost everything in life together, marriages,divorce,each have 2 sons, each have sons that have been in a war, getting older, grandchildren. You name it we have done it together. There is no one in the world I trust more.

It would depend on the problem. I can talk to my brother about almost anything. I do have a couple of friends back in the States that I can talk to. But there is no on here that I could confide in. I know one of my friends does know how to keep a confidence as she has done so in the past.

Hi braveheart! I usually keep my problems to my self.And sometimes I will talk to my family and friends and it does make me feel better just to let it out sometimes.Im also a good lister. You can always come to me.

well it depends really on who i vent to on the situation. If im venting about a particlar situation not regarding my husband then i vent to my mother or older sister. If im venting about life in genrela or my daughter i will vent to my husband, if it regards bills i keep it to myself, because i dont want to stress anyone out with ,y fiance problems and i dont want to upset my husband as well. Usually lately ive kept ALOT in and i vent to myself... in a journal or a letter that i shred up or i cry at night.

Usually, I pray hard first and lift everything to God. Then, if my bestfriend or husband is around, I told them about it. Their time and ears to listen are enough for me to ease my burden. If I can no longer make it alone, and they extend their help, the more I get ease.

The person or people I speak to, when I have problems, vary according to the nature of the problem. I speak to friends of mine who are artists and sell their art online as I do, if I face problems or challenges related to selling online. If work-related problems come up, I often speak to my co-workers about them. My husband is the person I confide in the most regarding problems that are serious. I also have friends that I talk to about serious issues. :)

i never tell anyone my problems.. it doesn't do any good to do this. my mom doesnt get me, my husband would feel bad, my kids don't really want to hear any problems, and my friends all have their own problems. you just suck it up and go on. figure it out for myself. sometimes i think if you just put it out of your mind it really isnt a problem anymore. thats just how to deal with it in my way.

I have a friend that I tell all my problems to. I know that she can relate since she has a lot of the same types of problems. Mostly money problems in our lives. It always makes me feel better to just be able to talk about it.

yes everybody has their own problem and everybody as well has someone to talk too or open up their problem. me i have my parents and my girlfriend. i tell them directly what problems i have and here solutions what they can suggests that could be an answer to my problem.its always good to open up your problem to someone else because you will feel that youre not the only one who carry the burden problem. good day.

I would usually keep quiet, even to my wife. I try to solve my problems on my own. but kinda difficult. When that comes I try to talk to God for help. Good there's one friend now whom I can talk, too. Although very seldom because we only have contact through YM

for me,it also depend on the problem.Problem about the family I will talk it to my brother.The problems about relationship I will discuss it with my intimate girl friends.When I feel stressful or unhappy,I prefer to be alone to immerse myself in the negative emotions for a minute.

Woah! Nice question...anyway same here braveheart...I prefer to talk to my closest friend, my bestfriend everytime I have a problems. I feel like I want to share it to her than to my family because I don't like that my family will worry about me and about my problems as well. Perhaps my bestfriend is just like my diary I prefer to tell her first whatever it is that I want to share, it can be a problem or about silly things...hehehe...

The truth be told I don’t easily open up to anyone .I have my mother ,my girlfriend and a few friends that I know I can talk to. I also know that I can talk to either group and I will get unconditional support from them along with good advice. However, in spite of all of this I find it extremely difficult to open up to anyone. With regards to my mother she is a compulsive worrier and any problem I tell her may make her worry too much and I don’t like to make her worry. My friends might worry but I just have serious disclosure issues when it comes to divulging personal information. So I select what I would want to divulge to them. My girlfriend is perhaps my best bet .I find her very open and non judgmental. The only problem is that we have only recently met and I wouldn’t want to divulge too many of my problems just yet, for fear she think I am head case. And last but not last my advisors here on mylot , believe it or not I have gotten some good advice from my posts here

Depends what problems im dealing. Even i have supportive friends i cant just let everyone know that im facing this kind of problem. Ive a friend that is great when it comes to matters of the heart, ive a friend for legal matters, and so on.

I would talk to my mother or my husband, maybe both depending on the problem. They are my 2 best friends, and I know I can talk to them and ask advice about anything. I've never had a problem that I couldn't talk to either of them about. They are both very open-minded and experienced, and will always give me their honest take and opinion on something. I'm lucky to have them both!

If i have problems i will talk to my close friends.but i want he or she just to listen to me. sometimes,i will solve it by myself.^^

Braveheart07, nice to heard that you were talk with your friend while you were in problems. As well, I will talk to my close friends if I were in trouble. As my friend will be more understanding me then my parents. I tried to talk with my parents before, but it seen to be having different point of view and different suggestion, in the end I had just listen to what my parents did told me and will stop at there just to prevent any argument. I guess parents will have different point of view because I'm their child, they don't want me to get into trouble and we were having a gap of age with our parents. As a children of my parents, I understand their responsibility and all they did is for my own good. As my friends did help me a lot when I'm in trouble, everyone were willing to help me while they can sense it when I'm in trouble, I don't know why, guess we understanding each other too much. so I will also share my problems with them as they did it with me, thanks buddies...

I personally don't feel very comfortable talking to many people. I have been hurt too many times in the past to just open up to people. It takes me a very long time to warm up to people.

If it is about my love life, I often go for my friends. They are always there there listen to me whenever I have problems and so.

Hi, I have a lot of friends.Not all of them i can talk about my problem specially serious problem.I choose to them who i can talk too that depends what kind of problem i have.Not all of them got the same talent in giving advice.I have serious friend,friend not serious but fun to be w/ makes you happy if you got problem.Friend that can talk a lot the whole day.That she/he will make your ears explode.But if its about serious matter i talk to my serious friend about it.She is a good listener.But i been betrayed once of my friend i tell him all my problem after a while i heared it w/ everybody you gossip.And that kind of friend i dont really like. Becouse i believe if someone came to you and tell you everything about her problem that is not your business to tell to somebody else.Just like this your friend trust you completely 100% telling you all her problem and you betrayed her.What can she feel about?It will be more worst.I am getting deep! haha if its about friend i can tell a lot of story...hhaha Greetings from Che
