Is it true that Japanese people won’t talk about their problems/fears with their friends/partners?

Sorry if this sub it's not the right place for my question.

I'm Argentinian and have never left my country, that's why all I know about Japan comes from social media. So I'd like to know what Japanese people think about this stereotype. I read lots of comments on the Internet about how Japanese people are very reserved and won't open up emotionally even to their couples.

Such a strange habit I can't believe, since here in my country people will share their problems even to strangers in the street (of course, it's not the most likely, but it sometimes happen). Here people go a lot to the therapist (psychological therapy) and it is quite common to talk about your problems with your friends, couple and, less often, family. Thanks
