The Truth About Sharing Your Pain
Gone are the days when a problem shared is a problem half solved…

Nowadays, people just want to hear your story so they can mock you. Be careful who you share your struggles and tough situations with. In the end, out of 50 people you tell, it might be just 1 or 2 that will truly show up for you. So, what is the essence of exposing yourself?
Sometimes, it is better to nurture your pain and heal alone. Some people actually heal better on their own.
When it comes to pretending to be okay, I am very good at it. First, I don’t like disturbing others with my problems. Secondly, I feel some people are secretly happy when they hear you are going through a tough time, so it is better to keep your pain away from them.

Sometime in 2015, I was really down, unhappy, and tired of the life I was living.
I worked so hard but had nothing to show for it. That evening, I was indoors alone, with tears in my eyes, when my sister showed up unexpectedly. I quickly wiped my face because I wasn’t expecting her visit. We talked, but I avoided eye contact because she could easily tell when something was wrong. After a few minutes, she left, and I went back to thinking about my life.
Then suddenly, I felt a push to step outside, which I did. While I was walking, I heard songs coming from a church nearby. The same feeling that pushed me outside also led me into the church, and that was the beginning of something good and life-changing for me.
I told God about my problems, and it felt like He had been waiting for me. Since then, I have seen so many changes and blessings in my life after devoting myself to Him.
To cut it short, it is okay to appear strong before others; most people can’t truly help you anyway. But never pretend you are okay before God. Tell Him your problems, and you will be surprised at how quickly He answers.

These days a problem shared is a topic for discussion oo, you will be shocked.
Honestly! They won't help, they just want to hear your story and mock you...
You're right that people won't always be able to help you when you have a problem, and that you have to be careful about who you expose yourself to when you're vulnerable. But I don't think appealing to a religious figure works for everyone, because there are many cases of priests and preachers who take advantage of people in their most vulnerable moments to extract money from them.
I also don't think that staying silent will always work, because sometimes in human interaction (with someone you trust, obviously) people can offer solutions to the problems that are overwhelming you that you hadn't considered. I'm not saying it always works, or that it applies to everyone in every context, but when it does work, it takes a huge weight off our shoulders.
I never said to take your case to a prophet, pastor or any other religious leader, I said to the creator Himself through prayer... I am religious but create a distance between myself and the religious leaders because we don't know who is fake or real, I trust in the church instead not those running it cos God is everywhere we are gathered in two or three trying to connect with Him...
Regarding staying silent or sharing, if anyone is going to share, it better be with their family or very close friends, it actually help lift the burden of whatever is weighing them down...
