Do you prefer to take advice from strangers or people close to you?
This is a very good question… As a somewhat private person I find it very hard to ask or seek for advice. Oftentimes if and when I seek advice I would ask someone not closed to me (like family or friends), but more of a neutral source like an acquaintance, a “stranger.” I have found that strangers are less likely to sugar coat their words when giving/providing advice; they will be more honest and less biased. Sometimes I reach out to a family member or a close friend for advice, but I try to keep in mind that the advice I’m given is not always going to be an honest advice and that my friends and family, knowing the type of person I am, will try to sugar coat it.
How about you?
Who do you seek to for advice, strangers or close family/friends?
