Where do you go?

[PHATchik]

Who do you turn to when you are upset or simply have someone on your mind? Or maybe just when you need advice? I know I see threads on here asking for advice or help, but do you all really rely on a chat board for your advice? Or is it your mom or dad? Your significant other? Best friend? Brother or sister even? Who do you turn to when you just have something that is just weighing you down and you just have to talk to someone about it?

yeah i talk to my bestfriend or girlfriend.

i would never ask for personal advice on a messageboard, but i do enjoy reading other peoples problems. And if i've got something to say than that's great if i don't then there is usually someone else around.

but sometimes when i'm really down i just stalk my ex.

First my husband, then my best friend (who I met on a chat board 7 yrs. ago), then I guess I go to the women's board here. Sometimes just getting it out and said makes ya feel better...doesn't really matter at times who exactly is listening. Kinda like when you stub your toe and curse...no one else needs to hear about it, but saying something makes you feel better.

What do you when you don't think you can talk about it with someone? Some people are very close-mouthed and don't like to talk about things? That might apply to people here too. Instead of simply asking who do you talk to, maybe I should be asking, do you talk period?

 

[ajtomasi]

actually i really don't talk. Nothing really bothers me to the point of having to let it all out. when ever i do talk about things bothering me it's just in basic conversation.

So is there something that you need to talk about?

Even if there was something, I'm not exactly the kind to spill my guts on a message board. To be perfectly honest, I'm more of the type that I mentioned last. I don't really go into a whole lot of details on the shit in my life. It's just how I am. However, there are always those times when I just have to talk to someone. I'm only human after all.

Do you find that women are more open to talk to someone then men?

If you look here at EF then you'll always see some guy talking about his personal problems to a bunch strangers. Just look at that "sticky" on this board.

It seems that men will spill if they have that layer of anonymitiy.

I'll admit that I do see a lot more threads like that on this board by the male members. Although, if you go to the women's board, we have a forum where we can talk. So maybe it's just because there's not a men's discussion board. Who knows? But like I said, not all women are willing to talk. I'm one of them. lol.

Nope.

I'm for the most part a loner with my problems,I''ll share here and other places but nothing really of an important nature.

I'm the one people come to for advice and I've found when I tried to get something back,it fell on deaf ears or it was an opportunity for them to spout on about their latest tragidy.

No ones gonna help me but me,found that out a long time ago.
