who is the one person that you can turn to when it feels like the world is at it's end. well the one and only person i feel like i can talk to about anything would be my sister. i can always turn to my sister to give me advise about a career in the army or simple stuff. i am very open with my sister about my relationships, if their is anything that happens or if anything goes wrong then i know that she can give me good advise. one day i called her about my son crying about nothing. she told me what she did, that seemed to work. when my grandfather died Sunday then she was their to talk to. that is the person that i look up to the most because she is always their.

i tend to agree with you. relying on self makes you stronger but in the long run it drains you as well. its pros and cons.

I guess I don't have anyone that I could turn to. I've never let myself be that close to someone that I can tell them everything. I talk to my husband alot, but I'd never share certain things. Its not that I'm hiding anything from him. I just know that he wouldn't like to hear about certain things in my life. Id rather not talk to him about depressing things.

I'm sorry that is one of the most imporant things that you should talk to someone about.

My best friend. I can not turn to family as they do not have the ability to listen... But even more so.. The best person can turn to.. Is myself, and Spirit. (G-d) ... I also turn to passed on friends and relatives, and to Mother Earth. Earth, and the Spirit of Iron.. as well is who I turn to the most. My issues are to strange for most living people to comprehend, the only one that will be there for you all yours life turn to in the end.. is yourself. - DNatureofDTrain

My dear friend, your didcussion recalled me a lot.Who is that preson i can turn to? This one should be very faithful to you.This is my first time to think about this type of question.I won't share with my family,as i do not want them worry about me. Friend is my first choice.As long as we get similar point and view to the world,or we can chat comfortable,i would decide to speak our my true feelings.So that depends on what kind of thing.I got two best friends,but we don't share everything.We keep our secret and space and we get along well with each other.One more is, i prefer to keep them in my mind if something can not be done.Not because i am not willing to trust people around,but i insist that happiness could be divided and so will sadness.Unless i need some suggestion or encouragement.So as far as i know,there is no this kind of person that i desire to turn to.

Shawn- I just love the posts you come up. They are very thought provoking. I'd have to say the one person I can always turn to is my husband. Of course, there is a story to that. I met my husband back in 2001 when he was still in the military. We were just online friends, speaking now and then on the phone, letters, emails, etc. I shared a great deal with him about my beliefs, things occuring in my life etc, and he listened, offered advise, and was a great sounding board. One day I invited him down to meet me (2005) and he proposed at the end of the weekend. So, our relationship started on friendship and grew, so he knows how I think, what works with me, and how to cheer me up. No matter what's going on in my life he's the person I turn to for all things. It's kind of nice to be married to your best friend. Anora

yeah i can talk to my wife about alot of things. some of them i don't want to talk about because i don't feel like arguing. it's nothing bad of course but i just don't feel like fighting. i do love my wife but i just feel like some opinions or comments would start a fight so i don't say anything. for the most part my wife has been here for me too i just feel comfortable talking to my sis. i guess because i have been around her for all my life.

My mom. No one in this planet knows me better than my mom. She knows when I'm not in the mood, when I have problems, when I'm sad even if I'm not talking. I guess I have to believe on mother's instinct. When I screwed up on things and stuff, my mom is always there ready to lend a helping hand. I love her so much. I could lose my friends but not my family.

Hello There! I have my friends and families to turn too but if there is one person that I turn to, it would be my boyfriend. He is far away really and things not been so well lately due to communication gap. I used to run to him whenever I have some problems or if I need help with anything. He used to listen to me… I just miss him so much. I want him to come home. Thanks for asking. Happy Valentines day. Goodluck and thanks for the discussion! Happy Mylotting! Cheers!

i'm fortunate to have several people....first is my dad. i can talk about anything with him and no matter how bad i mess things up, he helps me find the light at the end of the tunnel. if i need a reality check, he's the first one to give it to me. if i'm not ready for that reality check, i call my sister. even though she's younger than me, we've always been close. when she needs to lean on anyone, she calls me. then if it's not a really big issue that i don't want family to be involved with, i have a friend that i can call and cry on his shoulder. it feels good to know that i have been able to be their for him when he needed a shoulder too.

The person that I can turn on is my mother, when I feel down she is always there to comfort me, And always there beside me in times of problem, also in financial problems. That's why I love her so much. I don't want to loose my mother, and I will give my life for her.

my husband, he is my confidante, bestfriend, hubby, a good advisor, we are open with each other, everytime I am upset even with him, I can honestly tell him, whenever I have problems in my work, at home , even among us, he has always been here to hear my side, second is my cousin , once you have established good rapport with that person, it would be easy to open up a problem. it's good you have a sister whom you can open up.

Wow... You have a wonderful relationship with your sister... That's really very nice... As for me, the one I really turn to at all times is my mother... I believe that amongst my numerous friends, she is my bestest friend of all. I could tell her about anything that has happened to me, and she's always there to listen and give me very meaningful advices... She understands me in my silence and she is aware of my worst attitude yet loves me for what I am.. ^_^ Well, I think my relationship with my mom isn't just merely a mother-daughter kind, I see her as my mom and my best and true friend. And of course she is the person I really turn to, in all kinds of situations i get in to.. ^_^

the one pesron i can really turn to when i feel that world's crumbling down on me is my husband. i guess its because we became oue each other's guardian angel. whatever it is that we are facing in our lives we always share it with each other. through tough times and happy times. with God's blessings and guidance we seem to pass every obstacle that will come our way.

That would be my husband. It's been a very long road, but we have become best friends. He's smart, he's funny and has an answer for everything. I turn to him even if we're having a fight and I'm mad at him lol I suppose it's because I really value his opinion. But I don't turn to him just for help. When I see something beautiful, he's the one I want to share it with. When I read something interesting, he's the one I want to talk about it with. If I have great news, he's the first I want to share with. He's the one in all things, good and bad. Other then him, I talk different issues with different people, like I have a friend with whom I talk about work, relationships etc. I have another friend I talk to if I need moral support. My parents, if I need help and support.

Well aside from my faith...the person that I can always turn to is my sister and my best friend. My sister is always by my side to help me and give an advice. Whatever it may be; love,money,friends,work,family,etc. My best friend is the best adviser and confider. He might not help me with financial matters,but he never let me be alone with my worries or problems (emotionally). Right now another person,a very special one,is starting to play this very important role in my life. He is closer to me now than those I mentioned first. Both of my best friend and sister are living in the city,I'm in our province. So "he" is much available if I need help. ^ ^
