Do you share your personal problems to others?

I don't share some of my personal problems with those people that I really don't know, But I experienced some people who confide some problems to me. Its really hard to communicate with this kind of people but I know they need some help, so what I did is talked to them and give them some advice.

Well, I've seen a lot of posts here broadcasting their personal problems. But like you said, It's understandable that some people would just like to have an outlet. And for those who post here, maybe they are really searching for really good advice. After all, it wouldn't really matter if the person giving the advise is close to them or not, as long as the advice is sensible and make sense. As for me personally, if someone not even close to me, confide me with his/her personal problems, I would appreciate the trust and would try to give the best advise that I can think of. If I could not really think of any good advice, then I would just console him/her as much as I can and would make him/her feel an honest empathy. I think that's the least that I could do.

I have a tendency to vent only to certain people about certain things. Sometimes I think I should go to a therapist, but who could afford that in today's day and age. My friends are supportive and will listen to me. They know when to use constructive critism or cheer me on. And they know when to just sit back and listen. Some of them even have some responses that you would think were coming from a therapist. LOL

I don't normally share my personal problems with anyone but a lot of people come to me for advice or just to listen to them. It's okay if you don't have an answer for a friend's problem. If this person is a friend, just allowing them to vent and letting them know that you care is helpful. Sometimes that's all someone is looking for, just someone to listen.
