Strangers Or Friends?

well you can always ask me ...i don't judge and i like to have the full info , so i can hopefully help you .....a stranger is more risky because you may feel more confused but you could also make a knew friend ....hope you find the answers to your question

Both, I would say. Good question! I agree with you. Sometimes situations are so complicated that it's hard to sit there and type for some outsider just so they can attempt to understand what you're trying to say and what you're circumstances are. It depends. I tend to do both, though. I rant to my friends about situations but I more-like ask for advice online, at MyLot. I get good responses, too, and I'm really happy that I have both mediums to rant on. I mean, I like the sense of anonymity online, but at the same time, I like to keep my friends informed on my life and like to get their opinions and advice too.

When I need to vent, I generally tend to go to family and friends. I feel a lot more comfortable talking to people that I know. It might happen that I might vent to someone I don't know, but I can't say that this happens very often.

For me I would have to say that it really depends on the situation. There are some times that I really prefer to talk to a close friend about things that are bothering me because they are the people that know more of the background about what is going on. However, there are other times that I really don't want those people that are close to me to know the problems that I'm dealing with and in those kinds of situations I opt to talk to strangers instead. I've found that this isn't the same kind of problem that it used to be, however, since I've been a mylot member.

I can always find it eaeier to vent to a stranger than to a friend, A stranger doesn't know you. You can say almost anything. A stranger will have no expectations of you.

Sometimes, I feel that strangers have a totally neutral approach to the problems you tell them. That is why sometimes, I ask advice her from MyLot to see what "strangers" think. Of course, the problem is they don't know the whole story, so they can't give you a totally sound advice. But, with family and friends, they are sometimes clouded by their own bias and prejudice. So, normally, what I do is to do both. And see from a strangers' and from family and friends' point of view. Of course, very sensitive issues I do not just bare to strangers. I do it with a lot of discretion. But, their perspective lends an objective assessment of my problems.

I tend to want to talk to someone who is close to me. A friend or a family member. I have had family members that will blurt their entire life history out all over the place to complete strangers and I find it embarrassing. I actually have a hard time talking to others about personal things.

Sharing problems with strangers is better than friends. Like sharing it in mylot, we get neutral and honest answers from people who do not know our background.

For me i think its easier to talk about my very personal things to strangers. to someone who i think will most probably will not be able to meet me. I usually do that, i feel very difficult to tell or ask someone who i know well. And i also dont really share my personal things with my friends usually.

hi, i think,its not good to open something personal to a stranger, you still dont know the attitude of it, what if that stranger is love to do gossip? so its still better to tell something personal with your family or to your friends.
