Should You Ask For Advice on the Internet?

Throughout our life time, we will be faced with many situations. Will we all know exactly how to handle every situation we encounter? For some, perhaps and for others, no way. As a result, many people have turned to social networking for advice from cooking to relationships. No one is expected to have all the answers in life, that's why it is normal to seek advice & council from others, even if they are strangers. So to answer the question; should you ask for advice on the internet? My response would be, why not. Do whatever makes you happy, but be prepared for the consequences that may follow.

Here's the problem: If you decide to place your personal business on the internet and seek out advice from strangers, you should not be offended by the responses you receive. Everyone and I mean everyone is entitled to their opinions. If the snake bites your ass, don't get upset. If you can't take the snake bite, do not put your hand in its face. In other words, if you do not like the responses that people take the time to write, whether it's something you want to hear or not, DO NOT get offended. It's just like playing a game. Sometimes you're going to lose and sometimes you're going to win.

Here's the moral of the story. If you seek out advice on the internet, be a good sport, because you're not always going to hear what you want to hear. We all have opinions and you should respect them, whether you like what you hear or not. One should be appreciative that someone has taken the time to even consider responding to your situation. Hence, be a good sport, no matter the outcome. If you only want to hear specific things, then I highly recommend that you look in the mirror and talk to your damn self. That way you'll always hear what you want to hear and the only person you can get upset with is yourself.
