When we are with people we know, we are at a risk of being misunderstood. If the person is to close to you, it is very much possible that you will receive a biased opinion. And since we have to carry on our relationship with him/her later, we are always thinking Oh-what-will-he-say or what-if-she-misunderstands-me. These thoughts constantly haunt us. Always, if you don't utilize their advice, they might take it otherwise and think that you dont respect their opinions, which often times is not true!
Now, when you are on the internet, you don't konw anyone personally and vice versa. You have no fear of What-will-they-think-about-me. You can easily get opinions of a lot of people an you can choose whichever advice you want without thinking about hurting anyone's feelings. They won't judge you on your questions and you don't judges them on their advices as you don't know them.
And therefore, it is very much easy to go to strangers for help instead of people you know. Strangers thought don't mean random people walking on the streets. But IF people are good strangers. 😳
