Your friend,
Yes.. I know you should count on your friends but me personally never talk about my deep issues because of that reason.. I have had the same problem when talking about deep painful issues they would get turned off and just want nothing to do with it. Why I would share those things with a close family member but mostly my therapist or at groups.
