I tend to...

Have to figure things out myself. I usually seek advice from everyone, even though it doesn't make me feel any better at the time. And then later on,  I'll be mulling over it and ZAM something someone said will hit home. I think I am too caught up in the emotions of the situation to realize the brilliancy of what people tell me until later. Usually once I have that wha-la moment I go and tell the person, and they just tell me that that is exactly what they have been telling me the whole time! It's a good thing I have such smart and deep friends.
