Do you share all your problems with friends?

Tweet

I choose not to share all. Once I did. I sent a long message to my friends on WhatsApp group. I was in the thick of something and my self-esteem was low. One or two chose to call and spent quite some time asking and assuring me. That felt nice. Problems are many and with problems comes challenges. Though people will say they are there for us, but when we actually need them, they are either hard-pressed for time (for genuine reasons) or choose to remain indifferent or not respond at all. Some are very insensitive. There's a friend of my sister's. She was told that mother being unwell, it'd be difficult to give her time. The friend came, adding woe to the wounds. Sister was literally going breathless managing everything. I had to attend to my sister. Friends of my sister's tried dropping hints so that this lady could drop the idea of visiting us. This time a few friends of my sister's wanted themselves to be invited. Sister politely mentioned that she would, at some other time. There are a lot of issues with these friends of hers. They judged her immediately even before she could complete reasoning out. Some times, it's better to be candid. But that can affect. So what do you usually do?
