Do you go to the same people during your high and low moments?

Asked by imrainmaker (8380points) March 12th, 2017

Some people are good in comforting when you’re feeling low but may not be able to enjoy same way when you’re on a high. Those are different people with whom you can enjoy a lot. What is your experience?

My wife is and has been my go to person when stuff happens good or bad. I do have another trusted confidant I can go to in case of emergency.

Yes. My husband is my first port of call, and I have certain colleagues I will talk to about work issues. I also have a life coach. I don’t talk to her about my personal life so much as how to negotiate the politics of my work life. All of them are super supportive. None of them are overtly ‘comforting’. My husband always has my back and will give me a cuddle and tea and sympathy if I need it, but mostly I need honest, frank and fair guidance. I don’t want someone to pat me on the head as much as I want them to applaud my successes and to kick my bum if I’m being too down on myself (imposter syndrome) and to tell me the truth about whatever it is I need guidance or support about.

My husband, one of my sisters and my best friend are the people I can go to for both my lows and highs.

No. I go to different people in different situations. I evaluate my problem and see who is best suitable for the situation. I’m a fix-it type and I want clear solutions. Even when I need to vent I still have to choose my audience.

I go to everybody during my high times. I mostly keep to myself during the low times.
