Im with all three below. Blanket support is just as destructive as constant negativity. I think it should be balanced. Haveing a sounding board you trust and know will not fool you by constantly being a yes agreed person is a good counter balance for you.

I think I am lucky that I have people around me that tell me when I am out of line or when my behavior is offensive to others for whatever reason.

I am also lucky I have people i can off load and talk to and bounce off ideas with.

I also feel lucky that I am the go to person for others too.

Families and friends should be able to give you the support you need even if they disagree with your choices; i.e. if you choose a career they disapprove of, but they should give you the support you need if you need to talk to them about it or when you want them to come to a show, etc.

As for the errors: we live our own lives no one else lives them for us. We should be able to ask for help and make mistakes. Family and friends should be able to tell us their opinions. Their opinions should not be abusive or lacking support, but the opposite.
