Tourette's is a big diagnosis to be given and I imagine that all of the things that come with it, like how you feel about yourself and how others may react are worth discussing with someone - whether this is a professional or not is very much up to you. There is no amount you have to speak to be worth giving it a try, as it could be that you find someone who is better able to approach how you are feeling and that you feel more comfortable talking with.
I can say that you are not the only person who thinks therapy may possibly not be helpful as they are bad at actually open up - I am just another such person and I know many other people on these boards can hold a hand up to say they have felt the same at some point. That is not to in any way reduce the feelings you have - more to say you are not alone and there is some friendly advice and support here for you every step of the way, whatever your decision.
Be gentle with yourself.
