This has been me lately. Not quite having to go the emergency room but feeling like I need to use a self-imposed gagging order about my own problems, it's either "people don't want to hear you talking like that" or "you talk like that too much, other people have problems too".
I'm very aware pain is relative, but I get the impression the people I do have to confide in live half a world away purely in terms of misunderstanding me as a person. That or, they're still much more repressed than myself and I'm being too vulnerable for anyone to have anything to say.
