Its easy to share our problem with friends,so I never hesitate to share my problems with my friends.I always open up with my friends.
And they toO ask me for suggerstion,this gives relief and also some better ideas to resolve the problem,
The best way to approach a friend in sharing a problem is to go to him/her ,tell him/her what you think,so this will make things simple.
And some will try a third person as a mediator to approach this always causes a problem...

It really depends on how serious the problem is. If it's a minor issue, I just speak my issues either when the problem occurs or the next avialable time. If it's serious, then I think things threw before I say anything, even though they are to be my friends, words can hurt and be harsh, so I attempt to keep my words from causing major harm to our friendship. But when it comes to approaching them, I tell them that there's something that's been on my mind and tell them we need to talk, and then lay everything out on the line to see if we can either resolve it, or meet somewhere in the middle and hope this problem never happens again.

when i can't take it anymore and i really need someone to talk to. i am so lucky the all my friends are so approachable that i would just call or text them and just say that "can we have coffee, i just don't feel better and i need to breathe", and they make it apoint to be with me and if not they will try to set another day. i am so lucky to have friends like them.

I am pretty open so I share a good bit with my friends by nature. If I have a problem with someone I try to think about exactly what it is that's bothering me and why and how and what I want to say to the friend. I try to choose my words carefully.

First i give it a sound thinking whether i can solve the problem myself,and analyse it whether its worth telling a friend,i do agree that we should share our problems with our friends ,but we should be sure enough that its the right kind of friend that we are telling ,least they start complicating the problem.
I feel we need to share it with friends when in doubt ourself ,but not every problem ,because sometimes your friends might get annoyed with you always coming with problems.
Thats how i would approach a problem with a friend.
Cheers!
