Actually, I see your point. People like myself, who over-analyze everything about themselves, are easily mistaken to think that this allows them to get a clearer, objective picture of their actions or feelings, and hence makes it possible for them to reach a more advised decision as to what to do about their issues.
But sometimes, through this analyzing, we distance ourselves from our feelings and more so the validity of our feelings, and the problems we are experiencing change forms. We may indeed develop a new problem for ourselves to ponder over, thinking that the feelings we were having weren't the issue, but the reason why we were having those feelings. Thus, we completely ignore and set aside the feelings we were having, suppressing them, removing focus from what quite possibly needed to be resolved, or from the fact that there was no call for a resolution of any kind in the first place.
But, often it seems, we think that if we were not to act this way, we would be simply selfish, and not giving enough thought and consideration to what matters might lie underneath.
Still, I think the solution you propose - which we could ultimately call "honesty" - seems a lot healthier in the long run.
