If you were to seek advice on a personal matter, who would you turn to?

Suppose the personal matter is something you would never mention to anyone unless you were desperate. Would you rather turn to an old friend you knew would not say a word to anyone, or a stranger who would give equally good advice and tell friends and family of theirs you would never meet? Neither option would ever get back to you.

Basically for your personal peace of mind, would you rather suspect your friend now thought of you differently, or know your most personal issues were ‘out there’ but anonymous?

As usual I know this question is unrealistic, which is why it is entirely hypothetical and bears no relation to myself.
