if online, i will try to still help/advise but it could also mean they want to hear validation on their own feelings. meaning they already know the answer but want validation. Which is fine. Or they want to know our thought processes ^^  its ok too lol

but hopefully maybe pre warn, hey, if you want me to tell truth, will you run and get upset? most dont really in my experience. Or if the chance they do, come back afterward.

If someone I know well and trust asks for my honest opinion, I’ll give it. I’d like them to do the same to me when asked. If you can do this with one another without hard feelings you have an authentic, life-long friendship 😎.

It really depends. I will try to give some insight, more so than actual advice.

On line, I have given advice here. Not so much anymore. I feel more restrained lately.
