Why do you ask for relationship on advice on Glow?

Question

Out of curiosity,.. why do you ask for advice on Glow? Is it to keep it private from family and friends? Do you also confide in your friends about problems in your relationship?
The bigger question.. how do you feel about advice you get on here? Does it actually make your situation better or worse? I have found that the more I overthink my problems and go to others, the worse they become. I was wondering how others feel.

Answer

I don’t talk to family or friends about relationship “problems” because it makes them look at my SO or our relationship in a different way rather than having a non-bias opinion on here. I’ve gotten advice on here about my relationship and it’s never made it worse. I either accept and use the advice or disagree and find another way.

Answer

It’s easier to ask a stranger, rather someone who you know that’s invested. Also, I love receiving opinions from everyone on here because it’s coming from their personal experience without any emotion attached, since we have no bond/ friendship.

Answer

I sometimes just come to vent but I’ve gotten some great advice. Wether it’s people saying “yeah I’d be hurt too” or making me take a step back and being like okay I was wrong I should probably apologize. My family doesn’t need to know everything about my relationship but sometimes I just need to vent or get another perspective

Answer

I have found that my family is extremely judgmental to the point it’s hurtful, harmful, and toxic that it serves no real meaning. They also tend to share everything around because it’s the latest gossip. 
Friends, they are not the best listeners and tend to always say “just stop” instead of give helpful advice. It’s the same responses. 
Ex: “my bf didn’t want to attend x event with me and I really wanted to go and I feel x about it.”
Friend: dump him, he ain’t shit! He is worthless and you deserve better. 
The internet in general has better advice and opinions than those in my circle.
When I ask for advice it tends to help me in a way that I see others point of view and I can correct myself or raise my expectations. Use that overthinking to your advantage :)

Answer

I always think it's really good advice on here.. family and friends are biased so there's no point to ask them.. a stranger doesn't have to sugar coat things.. and u get a real opinion.. I do think on some occasions people are too harsh on here and too quick to judge.. but that's life as well.. u either take it or leave it.

Answer

It feels like people ask for advice then don’t respond or update us on if they took it and what the outcome was. It does feel like wasted breath a lot

Answer

No sugarcoating anything when recieving opinions from people you don't know, I like that.

Answer

I normally talk with some friends (not all my friends) about my relationship definitely not with my family. And sometimes it's easier to have an honest opinion by a stranger rather than someone you know.

Answer

There’s no biased opinions because they don’t know my SO. It makes it easier

Answer

Mostly because I want some insight, or simply to hear how others view the situation. I like hearing the opinions of others.
Asking questions here has mixed results, but it's better than yahoo answers, in my experience. At least I usually get some or one decent answer. 
Previously, I couldn't really trust my own judgment, because I realized I was attracted to toxic people and situations, so outside perspectives helped. But now I mostly feel good about my judgment, the only thing I don't get is how to make sense of social situations. I know other people can actually help me with that. I tend to completely not understand social protocol or norms, and so, I misread situations at times. I was a slow bloomer socially, if at all bloomed, lol.
