Why people post this type of private problems over the social media?

I mean really? Do you need to ask for help publickly? Why dont you keep those issues to yourself? I dont understand why people do this over social media. I try to understand the NEED to vent your personal problems on social media.
i do have a social media account but I dont post such kind of issues to ask for help, even if it is done anonymously, simply I dont post personal problems. There is a FB blog I belong to where people ask for ideas suggestions, also ask for help, for many life topics, the blog is called "A little bit of everything" for a reason. Members post from asking ideas in how to solve a problem to ask for ideas how to plan a party or ask recommendations for a good hotel or restaurant to go to with their families or friends, also they sometimes ask about recommending medical doctors or lawyers for problems, you can post many things about many topics. So today in this blog I found this post of a lady asking for help and need to read suggestions ideas as she does not know how to proceed on the issue. The message goes like this:

"Good morning group. My partner and I need you to recommend us a good couple psychologist. We are in an unconventional relationship because it is an open relationship. So we need someone who understand this type of relationship to counsel and guide us. (Please refrain to recommend us christian psychologists given the nature of our relationship) Thanks"

I mean do people need to go to social media to aks this kind of help? Why dont they look for the shrink themselves without using the social media and vent their personal problems and people knowing you are in an open relationship, in this case? This is where I think to myself, social media had made people stupid or dumb!! Kowning certains things are not to be posted just for people to feel pity for you. Who cares if you are in an open relationship, stop venting intimate issues of your life for God sake!!!
