why do people turn to psychiatrist and counselors (read: strangers) but not those that are close to them?

1) these strangers are experts in their fields

2) they do not want to burden their loved ones with their problems. even the loved ones have their own.

3) telling the loved ones certain things might jeopardise the relationship. the least they want when in a problematic situation is having emotional issue with the loved ones.

i would really love to tell this to those i love, "dude/babe, you are my darling, and accepting you in my life, i'm ready for your best and for your worst. because why darling? i understand how it felt to bottle up those emotions and waiting for them to burst at any moment"

pfft, as if telling those as easy as they seem .....

this post is rather emotionally draining.
