It’s always been weird to me that people will go to a complete stranger to vent, and take their advice over someone they’ve known their whole lives, and know BARD have their best interest at heart. I really feel for people who don’t have at least one fren they feel they can unload on, and/or ask for their opinion/advice in a pinch. They have no financial incentive, plus you know they share most of the same values so will likely be able to look at things closer from your POV.
