We all go through problems and need support from others and we feel relieved once we share our misery with others. We feel relaxed and calm after speaking to someone who we feel cares about us. It can be friends, family, colleagues or even strangers online. We all need people who would hear our story, but not everyone in your life who is listening to you really cares about you.
Have you ever shared a personal story with someone only to discover later that the information had traveled through an entire friend group, workplace, or family circle? Experiences like these often lead people to believe that nobody genuinely cares and that everyone is simply looking for gossip. Psychology says reality is more complicated.
