My advice flowchart:
1) My significant other, unless it's a problem with him, then skip to no. 2.
2) My mom. She's a great sounding board, and the best when I'm just looking to vent and don't actually need advice.
3) My roommate. He's always good for giving me perspective on a problem.
4) The TFP. There's usually some good advice to be had around here.
5) My best friend. She is always a short phone call away, as she lives about 45 minutes away. We try to have some face-to-face girltime, just us, every couple of months where we hash stuff out. We take turns talking about shit that's going on. We've been doing this for years, though it used to be on a weekly basis.
6) Martian--if he's online! But he's never online anymore.
I don't often keep problems to myself. I usually consult with someone to help me solve them. Hooray for friends!
