People can get extremely heavy publicly so long as the moral of the story is they overcame the issue and are now stronger than ever before. (Usually this requires some obvious proof.)
But even minor situations, if unresolved, feel shameful to share

It would be nice if people could be more honest about their personal failings and struggles, because maybe then it would be easier to see them more clearly.
