Who do you confide in?

When you have things weighing you down, who do you confide in? Who do you talk to, where do you look for someone to give advice or to just, you know, be there.

I need some ideas...

My two or three best friends.

One's been there for me since early highschool, and I know that I can go to him with almost anything for a listening ear and, if I want, sound advice.

The other's on this board, and is almost always available at any hour of the day or night to talk to. He's a hell of a guy, and I know I can talk to him about whatever's buggin me, and he knows I'll do the same for him.

Sort of depends on the subject matter.

Mostly, my "roomie" group--two girls I live with now, and the two guys who are moving w/ us next year. My ex boyfriend, who's from my hometown and also attends the same college, is also a confidant.

Things I can't talk about with my friends...stuff I feel is either too personal, or I can't express properly...I take to my Blog or here, to the TFP.

I have two close friends who are always around. One just simply knows me so well it's creepy, and the other has been in my life since I was 14 so we've been through a lot together.

I'm happy to say Lebell. This is a true gift as I've always wanted my partner to be my best friend too. That wasn't true with the ex. I have plenty of close girlfriends -- but Lebell is my main support and confidant. He is such a blessing to my life!

I don't seem to have any other friends. I'm not sure how this happened. I used to have them. I used to hang out.

It's odd.

My best friend, my wife. Yeah, it sounds corny and sickly sweet, but, it's true. She is my best friend. Hell, she's my ONLY friend. Of course, I can't really tell her about my lust for my co-workers, but, she's probably figured that out. Hell, I've been lusting after her sisters for 20 odd years now.

Hey Charlatan, I know that feeling. All mine disappeared after I started dating my wife. They must have been turned off by our PDAs. One day I looked up and they were ALL gone. It was pretty freaky since my wife and I tried again and again to get them to come to the house or to meet up somewhere. It's not like we dumped them.

My mom and my best friend...occasionally my husband, but he's definitely not a talker, so if I'm looking for feedback, he's not the one to go to. Most of it gets poured into either my online journal or my "old fashioned" pen-and-paper journal.

Very much depends upon the subject matter. Mostly my SO. I have friends I love talking to, but telling them everything is not the right way to go about things. Intimacy is for the one with whom you are intimate. No exceptions for me there.
