Too much info or being a recluse?

Telling people about your problems can be kind of weird.

First people might think that you are revealing too much about yourself when you talk about your problems.  They might be having a bad day and you telling them about your bad day won't be helping others and you feel any better.  Usually, the run-of-the-mill people want to hear about topics that make them happy and feel better about themselves.  Also, people might ask you back sarcastically, "Why don't you fix it instead of prating about it?" or something among those lines.  Even worse, they could gossip about it.

Some people might be kind and open enough to listen to your problems.  Perhaps those people might even offer a solution to your problem, even if they're not affected by this problem.

I think I would like to help other people... But it seems that other corrupt people in society have conditioned me to shy away from helping others.  For example, one of my classmates didn't exactly know how to carry out a lab experiment that our physics class was doing.  I went to help the other guy, despite my lab partner insistence on letting the other guy "fail."  Clearly other people are a little more than selfish and indifferent when it comes to helping others.

This apathetic treatment of others makes a person to pent up their afflictive feelings about their problems.  This will cause those people to suffer even more emotional damage for keeping their frustration and unexpressed feelings about their problems.

I used to talk about my problems and other things in my life to others.  I was never lurid like a soap opera but I never wanted to present myself as if my life was perfect to others.  It wasn't until some inconsiderate jerks told me to stop talking about everything that I really stopped talking to others.

Maybe I shouldn't have listened to those idiots, now that I look back...
