 getting feedback
so, I'm trying to figure out what to work on, where I should be steering myself, and in the course of doing so, I've asked a close friend for feedback on what he thinks I should work on. He's quite judgemental by nature, quite smart and has similar values/opinions as I do, so I usually think he's right in his judgements. Basically I respect his opinion enough to quite want to hear it. However he frustratingly told me he wouldn't pick out my flaws for me!
I have more distant friends, but often I don't feel they know me well enough or we have basically different views of the world and I know I wouldn't respect their judgements enough, would probably argue with them or dismiss them... Tonight I'm going to ask my parents what they think, however they don't see me in the same situations/light as my friends, so I'm not sure where else to go- any ideas how else to get feedback?
I've thought of talking to a life coach, however I'm not sure I'm ready yet to make full use of one, not sure how I'd find one able to understand my goals and help me towards them, not sure if it is worth the cost... has anyone had any experience with life coaching?
