I think if the problem is about work, it's better to ask colleagues for help. They know the job and understand the situation, so they can give good advice. Also, it's easier to talk about work problems with someone who has been through the same thing. Family might not really get what you're dealing with at work.

For personal problems, I would go to my family. They know me best and can give honest opinions. Also, when work gets stressful, my family helps me relax and feel better. They are more patient and understanding than colleagues, so I feel more comfortable talking to them about my feelings.

It really depends on the situation. If it's a work problem, I'd probably ask a colleague, but if it's something personal, I'd talk to my family. Sometimes, I might even ask both, just to get different opinions. It also depends on how close I am to my colleagues or family members.
