Every person on this earth face problem in one or more phases of life. Out of many types of problems , some are severe problems like 'Confusion while selecting one of many career opportunities', 'Confusion when making selection regarding to work in India or to go abroad for higher studies','Struggling for job search at fresher level ','Confusion when making selection of life partner','Financial crisis','Death of beloved one' and many more....
Many have said that problem sharing is good way to have better solution of problem. I also agree with statement in direction of, when person is in trouble his/her state of mind may not be as much positive as required to put problem aside and think of solution, in such situation, if person share problem with person who has already faced similar kind of problem then troubled person can get better advice and probably solution to his/her problem.
However, there are many problems that sharing of it to irrelevant person makes no sense and makes you weaker. Ideally, when any person share his/her problem to opposite person, he/she expects that opposite person will have solution of that problem. He/She becomes dependent of opposite person. In such case if opposite person can not provide useful solution or opposite person misuse your personal information that you shared with him/her when explaining your problem creates hurdles for you and subsequently make you weaker.
If person is facing problem in selecting one of two equally important options available to him/her. And he/she is not in state of mind so that he/she unable to choose one since long time. In such situation, if that person shares his/her problem to person who is trust-able as well as has some sort of experience regarding that kind of problem then only he/she can find forward way.
