Telling People Your Problems?!

Question: Telling People Your Problems?

I'm an instinctively shy person and I keep a lot bottled up. Recently, well especially today and the past week I had a really hard time and I feel like telling this friend of mine. She lives far away so I would email her and she's a bit older than me but I trust her and last time I went to her (only that time was face to face) she understood completely. The thing that holds me back is I know that she's really busy and I don't want to burden her and bring her down. I'm a little scared.

It's not my natural inclination to go to others but I want to try and fix my issues and I think she could help by offering words of encourgament and advice that is much needed. I know she believes in me and wants me to succeed (she told me that) even though I can't see myself yet. I want to. The past two weeks really I've been down and it's only gotten worse. I want to get past this.

Would you be ok with a friend telling you some of their problems?
I really don't share much so I'm very apprehensive but I know she has helped me before. I just hope she won't be too disappointed in me if I tell her.

Any advice?

Answers:

Hi Claire,

I think your friend would be happy to talk with you! Im sure she would be willing to take time out of her schedule. When you really care about someone, it's not a big deal to take time out of your schedule to be there. Family and friends are more important than school, work, or other commitments. Your friend/mentor wants you to be happy so she will be there for you.

My friends come to me all the time with their problems and visa versa. We are there for each other. Having someone that you can talk to and trust is very important. If you need someone to talk to, you can always send me an email!

Cheers!
