Does talking about your problems really help?

it helps. for day.

Doesn't really do for me, but some people find it a relief to tell somebody.

It doesn't NOT help, so...

I'm a bit of a bullshit artist. I find if I start to talk about my problems, I start to make things up, whether I intend to or not. Feelings, motives, etc. And that's not really helpful to the situation because it isn't really the same situation.

Of course it helps I suggest you tell EVERYONE EVERY LITTLE DETAIL ABOUT YOUR LIFE. Even if you barely know them.

talking about really wont change a thing, the problem didn't go away.

yes it makes you feel relieved
that's why there's therapists in the world

make a friend be a friend: I have three real friends and sharing my problems with them is good for me: it keeps me happy, content, lovable, caring, valueing, respecting understanding, appreciative of the other who has problems but no one to share them with: I encourage make a friend be a friend

No, it just makes you believe them more when you voice them. I'm reading a book on happiness and this is one of the main thing it mentions, don't give it power over you.

it doesn't really help because noone truly gives a fuck about anyone else's problems but their own so no i'll say it again no it doesn't fucking help problems to people.

Actually (after almost two years absence lol), I'd like to add that it DOES help if it is a problem with another person and not a personal/internal issue you might spout off to a friend or therapist. My husband was deployed then so I wasn't in this frame of reference, but if two people are being open, honest and respectful, you can learn of new vantage points to look at the 'problem' that you would not have seen on your own.
THEIR interpretation of the problem.
The ways THEY internally deal with the situations in their life.
What THEY thought of how you handled your end of the problem and what they THOUGHT you meant vs what YOU thought you meant.
When you're learning a bit more of the other brain involved in the problem, then talking about it CAN be productive...especially if you use this information in the future.

i wake up a hooker let her gimme a blow job and fuck me then i cry right in the middle of the blow job and shes all like''whats wrong'' then i tell her the sh!t im crying about and she gives does it doggy style FOR FREE

doesn't do it for me. but i guess it helps some people.

depends on what it is.

Bottling it up is a lot worse than not speaking of it at all. You feel like your heart is gonna explode with all the burden you have. With the right people, letting it all out can lessen the weight on your shoulders...

doesn't do crap, infact sometimes it makes it worse. :/

I hardly ever talk about my problems because it's very personal things I won't ever share. I wish I could ask my other personality for advice but he is not -normal-

eff no..if i talk about it that means i'm thinking about it and that make it worse..no mater how bad things are i have a way of just forgetting about it(and i been throught some crazy stressful ish)

I talk about my problems to my close friends but still...after long heartfelt discussions my problems aren't really resolved...sadly. :P <3

Nope, and besides who wants to hear it...

Nope.

I'm the kind of person who thinks out loud a lot. If I can articulate my thoughts to someone else, it helps me organize them. Also, it helps me stop thinking about it when I've told someone else about it and it really helps a great deal just to have someone say "I understand why you would feel that way"

It is deceivingly helpful. But if at the end of the day nothing has changed for the better whats the frickin point?

Nah, talking about it makes it more apparent, and the other person will now know whats troubling you, making it more apparent. Unless they understand and can relate, then it feels good.

It definatly helps to get things off your chest but talking to the wrong people could cause more problems such as trust issues.
Talking to someone could make you feel at ease, that you are not the only person feeling that way, or it could help you to see things more clearly and help you think more positively about the problem/situation.
Even writing things down help because its there in text and its more easy to takle something if you know for sure what it is. Writing things down helps you to get to the point of the problem.
