Should you share your Family problems?

I think stepping outside the family to be the best source of help many times. Sometimes families can be so blinded with the problems, they can't really give us the best advice. Not all the time, but some. So yes sharing with friends can help if nothing else, as a unbiased person to hear them out.

I used to share my family problems with friends until I realized how bad I felt afterwards. I think if you need some one to talk to why not let it be your friends but leave the details out that you will regret!

Some friends are a part of family and sharing with such friends is okay I feel, but sharing with friends who hardly know about your family is not okay,as why to keep crying outside. There is saying if you laugh everyone laughs with you but if you cry then you cry alone. So it is always better to keep your family problems to yourself, except for rare friends.

yes, but i only choose people or friends where i could share some sort of secrets kept.,and to those who i know can give me a valuable advise.,one of the person i am sharing my secret with is my boyfriend but right now i don't feel like sharing some because i felt something different now.,we're into long distance relationship and right now it is really hard to confide something to him., i feel the distance between us and i was really hurting.,i hope i could fix this things out., thanks a lot! have a nice day ahead!

Soulfly - hi. If you have friends you trust, I guess you could talk about family problems. My mom told me, years ago, never to tell a friend anything private. Someday that person might not be your friend and they will tell everyone my secrets. I guess I always followed that suggestion. I keep things in the family, and if there is an disagreement between two people and they both talk to me, I am very careful how I say things, but I try to put the two back together. I think family is family, and friends are friends. I can't mix the two together. No one outside the family understands the family dynamics. Someone might say something that upsets me and it's the wrong thing to say. It's better to keep my own counsel. travel lightly, anawar out.

I share my problems with my friends and I don't see any problems in it since they never gave me any negative advices and I feel so comfortable sharing it to my friends. I also feel lighten after having tell my problems with friends. Just make sure that you are saying or shraing your problems with someone you really trusted and you also do the same to them.
