and it's sometimes easier to talk about bad stuff at work with ex-colleagues as opposed to current co-workers (let alone ones who you are managing/commanding).

9/10. It's seems I wasn't the only one who thought that moment where Liara asked Shepard how he/she feels served as much needed character development for Shepard. As other already said, it actually made Shepard feel human.
That's not character development: there's no change to Shepard. That's just someone asking Shepard about X, and Shepard talking about X.

Actually that's exactly what character development is about with regards to a story. Shepard is a pre-written character, sort of like in a movie where we can roughly choose the type of adventure, but we can't really change the specifics of her personality. So far, Shepard has had plenty of opportunities to show her real inner feelings about the events, but has never done that because we as the directors of said story were never given the chance. Which makes her character someone who simply doesn't worry, or never shows those feelings to anyone. A character like that is fundamentally different from the one that finally opens up to someone she cares about. It is a change to Shepard, because it shows something that has never been shown before, a more human side to Shepard.
In most movies, books and comics - any story really -, giving moments of weakness and signs of human nature is considered to develop the character in question. Without them, they would feel too distant, perfect and flawless machines that can take anything without breaking down. A person isn't like that.

"Everyone needs to believe that I'm still the same. That the Commander Shepard who died two years ago has returned unscathed from the abyss.
The truth is, I'm not the same. But for the sake of my people, my crew, they can't know that I am shaken, uncertain......scared.
They need me to be strong. They need a leader who doesn't show fear. So for them, I will keep my uncertainties to myself, and be what they need."

Those two tiny little sentences at the end of LotSB reminded us that Shepard is in fact not just an empty husk controlled by the player, but an independent character. She just never got any attention.
