Is it normal i can't cope without talking about it?

Whenever I experience adversity in life I can't let it go unless I have some feedback from loved ones and friends. Usually when someone does me wrong and I'm not in a position to fight back, I leave the situation raging on the inside. I obsess over how I could have handled it differently and how shady the other person is. After some obsessing I start doubting myself and wonder if I am overreacting. As a solution to my angst and self-doubt, I present my woes to a close family member and/or friends to see what they think. Simply the act of telling them brings me immediate relief and eventally I am able to let the angry feelings go. I'd estimate that I experience anywhere from 2-6 truly adverse run-ins with various people over a year long period. Is it wrong or immature for me to be this way?

    I don't think it is wrong or immature to talk about things that upset you. Maybe the act of getting upset over something you feel is immature is where you're stuck. But talking about it with a trusted confidant isn't.

    This seems like a healthy way to deal with this stuff.
