Why do I feel selfish when I try to talk about my problems?

-When I talk about my family problems or just self issues I have with myself that cause harm to me to my family friends and boyfriend I ALWAYS feel selfish like I do not matter enough to even be talking about anything that goes on with me because I know there are people with worse problems than mine. Like even now asking over the internet I feel horrible and selfish even asking this. I do not understand is there something wrong with feeling this way or is it something everyone goes though help cause I really do hate holding stuff inside to build up.It is really UNselfish to even ask this question. It is very good that you feel like it. I mean the fact that you know others have worse problems. However, if you yourself have not experienced those problems, you can't understand them. That's normal, I think. Everyone has problems and it's very prudent to talk about them 'cuz if you keep them in your mind, you'll end up crazy!

Sometimes, you might be the one with the worse problem and it's good for others to hear it so that they can judge their own problems as well.

All in all, what I want to say is that it is the best for everyone to talk about their problems. That's why we have friends. So that they can stand up to us.I swear I'm just like you. I feel the same way with telling people my problems because I don't think that it's even worth asking. I'm normally the listener when it comes to problems and I don't want to impose on anyone. But what you have to know is that we are all people, we have problems and we all need someone to listen to us and help us with our problems, So it's ok to talk about it because bottling it up inside just makes it worse. Hope this helped. :)
You are clearly a selfless person! You don't want other people worrying about you :)
