Why is it comforting to ask total strangers advice on personal matters?

Because sometimes when we hear advise from those that we have known almost all our lives we don't want to listen. Why that is? I'm still trying to figure that one out myself LOL. But even if we do listen to them we ask others we don't know for advise to know we are certain the choice we made or are about to make is infact the right one. Because if a stranger is on the same page as ur loved ones we feel more sure of ourselves.

Because they don't know you and you don't know them. You've got a reputation to keep up with other people you know and if you don't normally share personal things with them it can be awkward. Therefore we turn to complete strangers that don't know us. Many times the people we're close with don't understand all the 'secret' things that we keep to ourselves but still wonder about. Maybe it cause we think we will be judged and abandoned for our opinions.Why is it comforting to ask total strangers advice on personal matters?
They will be unbiased and might have first-hand advice certain books, psychologists, or websites will not.
Because they probably wont judge you n you don't have to see them everyday n be ashamed :P
Maybe its to get a fresh perspective on the matter, or just out of pure curiosity.
