Definitely not. It's actually a big no-no. Sharing a problem with a lot of people can create more chaos than help. If you share your problem with one or two people who are really close to your heart, or those who genuinely care about you and are willing to listen, your true friends, that's something that will be more helpful in solving your problems. There's a popular saying, 'Too many cooks spoil the broth.' So, definitely, too many people can create more chaos around your problems. It's definitely not a good idea to talk about your problems with a lot of people.
