I am a very open and honest person, and I frequently talk about my problems with people that I know. I don't save everything for my counsellor. I'll talk with the people that I trust and receive their feedback, simply because that's the only way that I can see my current problem from a different perspective. If you keep everything bottled up, you might stay stuck on the same issue for more time than necessary.

I used to feel like a burden or a nuisance when I would talk to people about my issues, but I've let that go for the most part. I've been in too many situations where I've struggled with myself on the same problem for an entire week, and then talked to someone for five minutes and found a solution...

“The most fatal thing a man can do is try to stand alone.”
– Carson McCullers, The Heart is a Lonely Hunter

Everyone needs someone to vent to, and a half hour conversation with someone isn't really being a burden or nuisance :P
