It's probably insensitive to say that I know how that feels.

The feeling where, while you are willing to listen to other people, you think you're somewhat of a parasite/bother to other people, and/or you think your problems are minuscule compared to what they're going through.

I don't really know where that stems from, but if I have to guess, it's a poor case of self-esteem. Seeing that you're not as worthy as everyone else and that talking about yourself, is not only boring, but a waste of time...

Perhaps it's a good idea to take a look at the mirror, see how you've treated yourself lately, and perhaps, examine your relationship with yourself... or go through my path in life and pretend everything is ok while crying for help every now and then. I don't recommend such a path.

I'd say it's worth giving those people (whomever you're talking about) a chance to hear you out, even if they do seem stressed. Sometimes being able to listen and help with someone else gives one a chance to set aside their own worries for a time. They may even find it helpful to approach new problems or the same from a different angle.
