Acharya Prashant addresses the question of whether one should share their pain and suffering with others. He explains that suffering is a fact of life, and one should speak about it to someone who can help them overcome it. However, expressing one's condition randomly at unwisely chosen places or to unqualified people will only aggravate the condition. While you cannot hide your disease, it is pointless to keep talking about it to just anyone. The correct approach is to find a 'doctor' and discuss the disease with them. He clarifies that there is no absolute answer to this question. If you never display your suffering, you cannot get rid of it. Conversely, constantly crying about your suffering is also pointless. He criticizes the act of publicizing one's suffering to gain attention or sympathy, calling it a pathetic attempt to sell a wretched condition for benefits, which nobody can endorse. Equally, keeping the disease to oneself is not a solution, as one is not qualified to be their own doctor. If you keep your disease to yourself, it will not heal on its own. The real question is not whether to talk about suffering, but to whom one should talk. This is a matter of discretion ('Vivek'). One should talk about their suffering only to the right person and with the right intention. The right intention is not to gain mileage from the condition but to get rid of it. He warns against the tendency to seek a 'shoulder to cry on,' which is a way of cultivating an internal narrative of victimhood. He asserts that suffering itself is often a lie, and without talking to the right person, one will never realize this.
