Hmmmm! That's a great loss to the family of the man, a great loss to the community and a great loss to the world.

There are so many thoughts going on in people's mind which is not open to other person unless they shared it. But there is an adage says "problem shared is half solve " it's always good to have people will can share with around us.

There are many people out there who when you share with them what you are passing through, they will take your case to the open space and make jokes about it. Those people may be friends, family or even church member.

Depression is dangerous, it can cause so many damages. It worked alongside unhappiness and if care is not taking, can lead to suicide.

Thanks sharing @communitycoin and @olawalium

Absolutely, fear of being mocked makes people to bottle so much in, until they lose a reason to live. That is why it is better to surround ourselves with positive minded people. We need to choose our company with care.

Thanks a lot, brother.

I understand your point, but I hope you will agree with me that choosing people we walked with easy,but choosing who and who to trust to share your life with is not so easy.

Early this year, I have a particular issues about my health. I went to my brother, I mean a blood brother to share with him what I'm going through. But to my own surprise, I became the subject of discussion among his friends and family members. What can you say about that?.

Did you know the case of an introvert, what can you say about them. It is not advisable to keep too much things to your self. As it can pile up and caused damages to your health, I understand that perfectly. But who and who can we take our matters to? A question bothering my mind...

Thanks for the feedback

Wow!. That must have hurt so much. I totally understand you and you are so right. I love hearing personal experiences, it makes it real and easy to relate to.

It is actually hard to find who to share your burdens with, as you can never be sure about what they would do, or who they would divulge it all to. The thing is, we need to study people's content before feeding them to our soul. I know you told your brother all that, because you felt he wouldn't hurt you, a mistake i know you will consider very well, if you were dealing with a friend, right?

When it comes to issues that are very delicate, test that person with a little information first and see how they react, but then, don't forget that you build friendship everyday you relate with someone. Studying people helps. Friendship and sharing secrets takes caution, that's why people sometimes go to a therapist.

The level of maturity of the person you are dealing with matters. These tiny details should be checked and looked into before ascertaining who to open up to. The truth is, people will hurt and betray you sometimes, we live and learn in life.

Thank you so much brother, I'm very happy you see it the same way as mine

Definitely. You made so much sense. Thanks brother.
