depends on what your talking about I think..
outside perspective can really help. But sometimes it’s hard to put the problem in context so people can help you properly, because it would take a long time to explain.

Depends on the question. This site has helped me in the past. Even if theres only 5 decent people in here providing honest and realistic answers, thats something, right?

If you don´t ask questions you will never get any answers.
Where to ask is up to you.
I think that one should keep asking until one feels that an appropriate answer has been presented.

I´m not saying that you should ask till the answers fit you. That would be wrong.
Learn from experience and use your head.

Something else we should think about…you can ask your parents,your friends,even your spouse for answers to questions and they will be biased…as they should be. But asking questions here,you really do get non-biased answers,as these people don’t know you from Adam. I’ve often found a third person detached perspective is quite helpful.

Secondly, everyone have different psychology.. new opinion really makes things easier and discussions easier…

Yes. I believe anyone can ask a question an expect a realistic answer.

Now if you get one or not, that’s up to speculation. You have to take what people say and analyze it, always. No one truly know you— not even real life friends you see all the time, know you (100%). People perceive and respond given what you tell them. Sometimes it’s this open dialogue that I find most helpful. So you are able to look at a fuller picture.

Why anyway, have you got a question you’re unwilling to ask?

well what I have experienced here is that lots of replies are from the heart..there are some stupid people that offend others or make stupid replies but most of the time the advices are helpful.There are generous people here as it takes time to read a post and to keep on answering.
I find this site amazing to ask anything.

Depends on the question. When you ask a question you kind of have to pick and choose what people you listen to. Not everyone is going to give you serious answers but many people will because not everyone is equipped to give good advice.

Serious question seems to encourage serious answers.
