If you feel that some people will distance themselves from you or judge you for opening up and venting about problems, then don't trust them with your problems. Also, they're not really your friend. Real friends support you and they don't judge you or try to avoid you when you're going through a hard time.

I can't help but think of this Black Flag song now. The lyrics go something like this:

Every time I open my mouth, I wish I would've kept it shut

Also, "My War"

You think that you're my friend, but you're one of them
Yep I've been judged and been told I'm too sensitive and even paranoid at times. In some ways I can see how I could be seen as paranoid but I'd rather come off as overly cautious than overly naive. The latter is worse in my opinion since people may think, "Wow, he is such an idiot he falls for everything." Yeah people who distance themselves because you opened up to them are not real friends. They don't have to say anything, in some cases, it's actually better to be quiet especially if it involves grief. But avoiding someone is just downright rude.
