I think it's normal to resolve your problems on your own. I also think that is a strength; more people should do so.
However, I find it odd that you do not feel comfortable talking to any one of your friends or family. It's true that most people can be irritating about the problems of others, but I should think you could find at least one person to confide your troubles to without an overreaction (although I don't know how serious your problems are). This makes me think that your communication problems might come from within, rather than from those around you.
As introverted as I am, I think I would go crazy if I didn't have a couple people to whom I could talk about everything and anything with.
Are you sure you can't get them to be more understanding? Could you possibly say to them, "I have this problem, but don't freak out, ok?" Just try to let them know what you want or don't want from them before you don't to them. And tell the others straight up that you are not looking for pity.
Thanks for your reply.
Well, my problems are not that serious but they aren't trivial either. I moved from my family's house almost one year ago, and I have had financial problems ever since. Also my roommate isn't the best human being out there and I have no option but to live with her. My family thinks that I have enrolled in a university but the truth is I haven't although I still try hard; hopefully, soon I will. I don't go out and enjoy myself like people my age for many reasons including not having enough time or money. I know that my problems are not so uncommon but they are serious enough to stress me out.
Is it normal that I have a serious talk with myself?
