The Value of Free Peer Advice

Advice forums online become more and more popular every day on the web. Why is this the case? It's quite simple. Such websites allow us to be ourselves. They let us connect with others.
Maybe you just decided to quit your job, found out that you're going to have a baby, or you simply aren't seeing eye to eye with your spouse - whatever it is, with the Internet it's possible to connect with someone else who has had the same experience. They could be going through it, at the exact same time!
Take this a step further, and you get anonymous advice sites. The following points list some of the benefits anonymous advice sites have over traditional online forums.
1. First, not all problems, and thus subsequent questions, are created equal. Certain inquiries may be embarrassing in nature, and anonymity allows complete freedom in asking what you need to ask.
2. Secondly, a stranger isn't like your family and friends, they don't "sugar coat" their advice to you. A stranger has no personal connection with you, which offers really honest advice. What's even better is the number of people you can ask a question to, on an anonymous online forum. You can get a general consensus on what you should do by comparing posts. If most people don't agree with you, maybe you should take a hard look at your original stance.
3.Lastly, these sites do not replace the bonds between friends and family. Rather in some cases they can even protect those bonds. Getting personal advice from strangers can spare your loved ones unnecessary worry and concern. Anonymous advice sites are often used as "trial sites" for arguments with loved ones as well. Do strangers think you're in the right? Do they think you're blowing your situation out of proportion?Consulting with others before confrontation can often allow a more balanced view of the picture.
In closing, advice sites are a wonderful tool. They are however, in no way meant to be a replacement for therapy. Those afflicted with serious medical conditions should seek proper treatment.
