sweetowen: ...who do you rely on most? Do you have a best friend you confide in, a parent/parents, significant other, or do you post it on the internet forums?

I usually deal with my own problems myself, I've been pretty independent most of my life but I will readily jump in and help others if I can. I just don't need sympathy for myself.

I think I'm a lot like you. I don't like to lean or rely on anyone. But having someone to be a sounding board isn't really asking for sympathy. Sometimes they can see an agle you can just because they're outside of the situation, ya know?
I rely on myself most of the time; I just feel more comfortable to deal with things on my own.However,there are times when I can't make all the little bumps of life go away,and that's where my friends come in.I have a best friend and he's my brother-in-law who I confide in about anything and everything. There have been times where I have posted on the forums about things that have gotten out of hand,in the past. And,that's where I want it to stay,in the past.

I don't mind an unbiased opinion on an important matter now and then that I can take or leave as I choose, but personal matters are best left out of the family, LOL they tend to want to get too involved and some are just nosy.

Depending on the type of problem I go to a different person. If it something I can talked to my son about I go to him. If it is something I can talked to my best friend, I ask him. Then I have a great extended family that I can asked for help. Nothing of importance is asked to the internet.
