Who Is Your Most Trusted Adviser/Mentor?

[Gvac]

When you have a difficult decision to make in your life, or a moral conundrum, who is the one person you're most likely to turn to for advice?

Is it a parent, a priest or rabbi, a friend, a sibling, etc?

Me.

I go to no one.
I don't believe in advice since nobody but you
knows your situation...

[Foster]

depends on the situation but the person whose option I put the most weight on is my father

[King Hippos Bandaid]

my dad

[underdog]

Either my wife or myself.

[Chimee]

Other people are scumbags, I'll look at a mirror and do a monologue to work out my problems.

[razorboy]

Satan.

[STC-Dub]

Myself, of I flip a coin.

[CHUCKWAGONCOOK]

I turn to Fez Whatley. Usually it'll be on Thanksgiving Day. We like to Walk and Talk. You know, get it all out so to speak.

[Hottub]

My wife
My Father In Law
The Oracle

[Contra]

I think you myself, WWRBD?

[SatCam]

if I ever had a serious problem I probably would go to my mom. I dont talk to her much but I do trust her judgment.

Otherwise myself, and you folks for life's more minor issues

[DiabloSammich]

Honestly, I don't place a lot of weight in the opinons of those around me. I trust myself and my decisions, for better or worse.


Egotistic? Narcissistic? Or have all these people let me down in the past too many times?



Hmmmm.....

[furie]

i keep my own counsel

[JerseyRich]

I usually consult a hot chick or an old guy. I know lots of both.

I desperately need a wartime consigliere.

[meanmrbill]

There are people in my life that I could turn to in such cases but over the years I've learned that I need to figure things out for myself. I think that is a very good way to learn. Of course I've made a lot of wrong choices but at least they were mine and I don't often make the same ones twice. But my personality also is a factor since I never feel comfortable sharing my problems with other people no matter who they are.

[biozombie]

I send PMs to obviously fictional board characters, which there's a lot of lately.

[El Mudo]

I desperately need a wartime consigliere.

I'd do it only to try to convince you that Dewey Evans should have as much if not more consideration for the Hall of Fame than Jim Rice ;)


My mentor/advisor is my dad...anything tough dealing with women, sports, jobs, life in general, nothing beats the Old Man

I DO COCAINE!!!!

All the cool kids are doing it. The 80's are making a comeback baby!

[ravn816]

My mom, my best friend who should have been my sister, and my husband. They all give me varying points of view which for me is a good thing.

[Furtherman]

You should all ask me. I give damn good advice.

[nate1000]

myself

[Ron Marie Douglas]

Strangers on the internet.

[Thebazile78]

I'm usually the one people come to for advice.

On those few things when I need an outside opinion, however, it's my dad or my best friend.

My mother is more of a sounding board than anything else, so I call her when I just need to hear myself talk.

[Aggie]

I refuse to answer until you answer yourself. You start all these threads asking us questions and never give us your response.

I'll wait...

Wife. 100%.

LIES!

I always answer, just not right off the bat.

I'd have to say that I agree with a majority of the people who have responded. More often than not I trust myself to make the right decision. I will, however, bounce things off close friends when I'm thinking about something really important.

I love my parents, but never really consult them on any weighty issues. In fact, I hardly share anything personal with them at all.

[CofyCrakCocaine]

The older I've gotten, the more I've realized that other people aren't to be expected to be able or willing to support you. Whether I wanna turn to someone about something or not, doesn't really matter- it's rarely worth the disappointment. Not to sound like a curmudgeon.

Like Bazile, my experience has more been the other way round where people come to me for advice. I've had friends who act like real tough guys break down into tears over some errant chick while I paid their tab for the night at some watering hole. Not once has anybody done anything like that for me when I've felt down nor do I expect 'em to. No guarantees in life, and besides, other people's opinions are usually shit.

To answer the question: nobody.

Thank you!

I would say my husband and very rarely my parents or his parents. I usually figure it out myself. I find when someone does give me advice I want to do the opposite.

[A.J.]

You don't need to convince me of that my friend. I have always worn my #24 Red Sox jersey in honor of Dewey, not Manny Ramirez (when he was here). Dewey doesn't get enough love.

[boosterp]

Me, well the beer can or my mom. My cat is too sassy to give advice and my ex-wife sucked at it.

Other than that, because of my field I was usually the one giving the advice so it is nice to ask some one else.

[LaBoob]

I have lots of mentors and advisors... my mom, my former bosses, former co-workers, my sister, and I will run a tough situation past all of them but will ultimately follow my own heart. Nobody sees the situation quite like you do and nobody can know exactly what you should do except for yourself... plus, nobody else feels the consequences of your actions except you, so you might as well make up your own mind.

My mother once gave me terrible advice about how to break up with somebody that haunted me for years and to this day I just wish I'd done it differently. That was the first time I realized my mother didn't know everything. To this day I listen to her advice and sometimes even use it, but it's always filtered through my own experience and it's always MY decision.
