When you have problem, you just need a listener, and its better that he/she is not Ph.d, Let your mind recognize the problem and sort it out.. once you start discussing it, and get a relief, then you will be able to find a solution of your problem..

The only thing that stop you from telling your personal problems/things to others is that one is afraid that may be their secret reveal to the world, and they will make fun of him/her..
