Poll: Do you share your problems?

[jubosu]

I keep everything to myself as to not weigh other people with my problems.
I carry them well and put things off easily.
I suppose I don't consider any of my problems noteworthy.

 

[MurderousToaster]

I tend not to share my problems, actually. I wish I did, however, but I'm often dissuaded by numerous factors.

 

[UsefulPlayer 1]

I find venting is good for the soul and brings friends closer together. Of course I wasn't always like this, but then again, I was a weird kid back then.

 

[Twad]

Of course i share my big problems. They often involve lots of high explosives.

 

[captainkrunch]

ive started sharing my problems with my friends and though 90% of them only make things worse, the other 10% im always glad i opened up to

 

[Phoenixlight]

No, I don't trust anyone with them. If I told say one of my friends they would tell everyone else -_-

 

[Disaster Button]

Its recently come to my attention that I never share my problems, even if I really need it, and rarely ask for help which has its benefits but a lot of.. not benefits.

I'm not sure why I don't because I don't judge other people for it or think they're weak for doing it but I always feel that people wouldn't, and shouldn't, care about my problems because everyone has their own to worry about and I should be able to manage on my own.

Anyway this could be any kind of problem from big to small so please feel free to elaborate on if you do or don't and why you do or don't. This could also serve for a place for people to vent their problems to at least get them out in some form.

=O You are like me! Exactly like me! Maybe for different reasons, but !!!

I like listening to other people's problems, and I like trying to help solve them if I can. I used to be good at doing the "sympathetic ear" thing too, but now I just get impatient because so many of my friends have gone off and done the "muhhh, I'm going to kill myself only not!" thing.

Spoiler: In short: My problem is being self-conscious. I don't judge my friends, but I worry they will judge me.

The problem is that I have a terrible speech impediment. I have, consequently, become a bad storyteller, so if I were to list off my problems, it would be extremely boring, and I don't want to subject my friends to that crap (especially since it's often very abstract, like being obsessed with comparing myself to the underground man from Dostoevsky's Notes from Underground).

And yes, another problem is that I feel I should be able to deal with it on my own. =/ But if that were the case, why am I not okay?

Another another problem is that I'm worried what they'll think of me. Here, it's okay for me to say what I like because I'm no one. But I care what my friends think of me.

Oh god a lot of my friends people I know do that too, its so annoying. Recently I've become less caring about their problems even if they do mean something too.

Maybe we're the same person

 

[AVATAR_RAGE]

i knda keep myself too myself

 

[SnipErlite]

I never share my problems even if I really need it, and rarely ask for help

Indeed I do exactly the same - I don't know what it is but I just can't stand telling people stuff. I think I'm mildly paranoid though.

 

[DazZ.]

I don't actually have problems, I have nothing to complain about at all, and can't think of anything in my entire life that I could consider a problem.

 

[Shurikens and Lightning]

It's share or suicide from the pent up rage.

And I only really share it with my best friend, and he is a great friend.

 

[Naheal]

My burdens are my own. If I have someone help me carry said burden, I don't become as strong of a person as I would have been otherwise.

 

[Kud]

I refuse to dump my problems on people.

I have to many people dumping their problems on me, and I don't want to be like that.

Just how it works. Everyone is different.

I never used to until my depression got the best of me. Now, I have to share all of my problems, all the time.

 

[Random Argument Man]

I find it odd sometimes. Some people share their problems and I have to find solutions for them. However, when I want to share my problems with them, no one wants to listen.

It's nice though when someones does take his/her time to listen to you. I feel refreshed and something just went off my shoulders.

 

[TehCookie]

I usually don't share my problems, no one ever asks. If I try telling my friends about my problems they either don't care or are find it slightly creepy.

I know it sucks to have no one listen to you so I'm the kind of person where when I notice someone acting different I let them know that I'll listen if they want to talk (because I do realize some people don't want to share their problems).
