I think part of it is due to the fact that I was raised never to burden other people with my problems
I hear you. This is one of my biggest hurdles. I learned that one listens to others unburden, not that one burdens others. It's only very recently that I've been able to let go and complain about money, family, stress, what have you.
And who the hell dares complain to you that what you choose to write about in your own LJ pisses people off? It's your damn LJ. Write about what you like. People can choose to skip it. Don't ever censor your topics because of some feedback like that. Write about what you feel is important; don't let anyone dictate to you what "important" may be.
