It's a natural gift for many of us "sensitive beings" to be empathetic toward others. We understand someone's pain well and can really feel for them.
Of course...being in the limelight can be very uncomfortable for us...therefore it being hard to talk about our own problems. This is the way we are natuarally. Try to understand your feelings and the way you...just are.
Asking for help can be difficult but sometimes it is SOOO necessary. You are doing the right thing by asking those who understand and have "like minds" for help.
I find it helpful to seek out more sensitive ones for comfort as certain "other" personalities may be draining and difficult....and may carry a '"learned behavior stigma" that just worsens my depression. Look about you...we always gravitate toward those we are comfortable with. Try to keep smiling...most don't know if it's fake or not anyway....and those that might....well maybe you just might be able to talk to them.
God bless and comfort...
