Do you confide more to your friends or your family members?

Hi Friends , do you share your problems or secrets or other issues more with your friends than your brothers, sisters or parents? For me, I tend to tell my matters more to my close friends. Sometimes there are issues which I keep to myself and share with my friends. I don't want my partner to be worried. But if I think she needs to know, I will share with her.

for me..i do share problems and certain issues with my friends more other than with my family.. there are just some things or issues that you cant simply tell to your family.. friends point view are different from them and somewhat more helpful.

I guess we need viewpoints from different perpectives..each feedback we get may have its pros and cons..In the end I guess we have to decide on what is best for ourselves

I am very frank and honest person who is quite open about one's feelings so there' not much to confide or to have to sahre any secrets. But if i want to discuss any issue or share my thoughts that i feel are imp. then i will do it with my family esp. my mother as she understands me and give good advice. It works for me.

Great to have an undertanding mother and someone whom you can confide too..This makes alot of difference if you have no one to turn to. Bottled up worries and concerns can make some people just go crazy sometimes..

I confide my problems are secrets to my wife. I know she likes to share it with me and sometimes she gives some good suggestions to overcome my problems. I don't share a secret with anyone. If i do it is no more a secret.

I guess the secret becomes both you and wife's! Glad to know you are able to share all to your wife!Sometimes my wife can become abit agitated if I tell her some problems I have!

Yes i do. I keep telling what i feel to my close friend as it helps me to overcome any depression or anything bothering me all the time. Sometimes i also do confide with my mom on those things i know that she will understand me, but mostly i confide with my friend.

Hello 1qazxsw2, I prefer to keep most of my problem to myself but if I have no choice and need to tell someone, I will choose my two best friends. They know most of my personal matters rather than my family. I am quite a secretive person in a real life. I don't like to reveal or to talk too much about myself to my friends and family. But to my surprise, I tend to tell all in My Lot. I guess I have the feeling that people don't know me personally here that I can talk to them without feeling 'guilty' of revealing too much about myself *smile*

It depends on what I'm confiding. If it's something that will hurt or worry my husband, I generally go to my friends. That way I have a sounding board from someone who doesn't have to live with me. They can be more objective. Although, I do confide in my husband quite a bit. He is the only person who has ever loved me unconditionally. I come up with some crazy thoughts and ideas, spit them out before I realize it, and it never really bothers him.
