Know the joy of confession in transparency. God gave us other people to help carry our burdens.
There is Wisdom in carefully choosing who we divulge our problems to. But let us not be cynical or distrusting or skeptical. We need to realize the joy in opening up to trustworthy people. They can show compassion, pray with you, offer counsel and point out how God is at work through the situation.
If you are alone and don't feel like there is anyone safe around, consider finding a church that has people trying to follow Jesus according to the scriptures.
When I failed sexually in my past I went to a pastor and was met with mercy. He did call me to repent. But he also comforted me through the repentance.
