i had a friend give me a little pink diary with a lock when i was in junior high and i've kept a journal since then with some breaks at times. i'm like you in that i'm super introspective/analytical but i find journaling to be a total emotional release. once i am able to get the stuff down on paper somehow i feel so much better than just having it ruminating in my head. i think it if helps why not do it? that is my perspective.
