That does make sense. Why tell people things that are potentially worrying when you could improve their peace of mind indirectly by just not saying anything?
There are a couple of problem with that line of reasoning. The main one is the assumption that a person's happiness is found within themselves. You assume that sharing your problems will be a detriment to those you care about and who care about you. If nothing bad from the outside (your problems) gets to them, they will be happy or better off. That's a nice thought, but it isn't reality.
As Christians, we are called to weep with those who weep and mourn with those who mourn. We are supposed to share our wealth so that other brothers or sisters needs will be met. In the same way, we are supposed to share our struggles in the valley so those on the mountain top can encourage us. We are supposed to share our mountaintop experiences with those in the valley to show them there is cause for hope.
Sharing our burdens is a way we show obedience because God calls us to do that.
Worrying shows a lack of faith in God, and that has nothing to do with you. If someone is going to worry, they will worry whether you share with them or not.

"Worrying is nothing short of staring into the face of God and saying 'You can't do it'"
