It mostly depends on what kind of problem. Sometimes there are problems that can only be remedied by or discussed with your family or friends, but when you have problems with any of them, strangers are best to confide in. But it's probably easiest to get your point across to strangers because they don't know your life so they really have no place to call you out.
