advice or not

Is this really a good place to ask for advice? Seems to be a lot of negativity

One step, and then another gets you where you're going.
Remember it is not so much the arduous journey up the mountain but the small rock in your shoe, which is easily removed along the way.

Actually, if you sort through the answers there are people giving heartfelt advice. I’m not one of them, but I’ve seen such things.

I am too sensitive. I have asked questions or made statements and been bullied for it. I think you can find good advice if you can put aside the trolls.
Jenna02359 · 22-25, F
I think its because they can be anonymous. It makes them feel powerful, something they are not in real life. I wish I could ignore it but I don’t. I still remember a comment I got on another site months ago just for asking a question@missleila

@missleila if I need advice, I generally ask in PM. Most people are more willing to give advice when it’s one on one.
Josh1454 · M
@Jenna02359 This is also very true. They think because something is obvious to them that everyone else is an idiot. And due to anonymity they can say mean things.

Sometimes you can get some good advice here from those that have common sense and actually care about you. There will always be some in the mix that are not good for you, but in the end it's up to you to discern who is for you and who has you digging a deeper hole. When it comes to SW that is usually easy to determine.

@butterfly1013 Like real life
SarahB · 36-40, F

Often you'll find the nuggets of truth you need

Life is a path, and the purpose of it is what you learn upon the journey, and how you grow.

You will probably not learn a lot relying on what others have learned, but I could be wrong. There are, however, no shortcuts.
I joined EP to seek advice--got tons but none that I followed. Joined SW since it started and I have gotten some good advice even amidst the negativity. Is it worth it? Good question.

There is good advice here... alot of the serious responses will depend on who is online... and you may have to sort through some strange stuff... but overall, you might find some of it useful. 😊

I met great people on this site .
You'd know who's good by there posts caused they'd have a meaning and you know they have something
SW-User
Not so much. So funny how many will give advice on situations that they themselves are failing at
That's probably why they're giving it. @SW-User
Ashleyduz · 31-35, F
It can be. You just have to sort through and ignore the nastiness. I usually ask privately once I am comfortable with someone.
ButterRobot · 51-55, M
It’s about as useful as calling up one of those $50/min astrologers you see on late night tv
Thodsis · 51-55, M
Probably not. The best place for advice is friends, family or qualified people who you actually meet. :)
Casheyane · 31-35, F
Block the wrong sort of people so the right ones can have the chance to answer
Bklynbadboy12 · 31-35, M
Sure it is asking me anything and I'll give you my honest and best advise
gdon39 · 46-50, M
If you can’t talk here then where? Just be sure and tag posts as adult
SW-User
Yous 16-17, get away from here for advice.
missleila · 18-21, F
@SW-User i thought it would be less embarrassing to ask advice of people i will never meet, but I'm thinking some people here aren't trying to help
FatherTime · 61-69, M
yeah there is. idk why. but yeah sometimes there is good advice on here
SolGryn · 31-35, M
It can be. You just have to find the right person to talk to
SW-User
some give good advice, most are annoying like me
