agree with everyone about it being an impersonal thing

They dont know you personally

and offer an objective advice based on an objective view...

but my feelings are that we should go to a semi known person (like a friend form this forum) for advice, as that person knows you quite well but not so close that you would feel awkward but close enough to give an adive they think you will be able to follow!!!

Great topic!
I think we do this because we feel more free infront of them. If we say it in front of our frnds/family we mite feel embarassed to ask them "How do you know a guy lieks you" & stuff like that.
It'z just cause we feel more open infront of ppl we dont know, cause there answers would be whut they think. Not you can say "baised answers".
And online, you arent actually face-to-face wid a person so its waay easier to talk to them bout ur problem [my point-of-view>!

I believe that i wouldn't mind sharing my problems wiht strangers as there response is not biased in any way and not pressurized by feelings or emotions as they will just tell the truth. Also it seems easier as you are communicating by computers and will never meet in life and if you do won't know!! It seems easier than asking friends or family who would give views based on emotions and feelings knowing you 😊

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. 😳
