How can I open up to people more even if it scares me?

You can remember that people, I believe, are internally all positive, people who are inclined to help you. Often times they stray from this path, and it's entirely okay to be scared of something that is unknown. But understand that with risks, comes opportunities, opportunities for you to better yourself in every way, with those that want to help you.

opening up is the most rewarding thing you can do for yourself. It lifts so much much weight off your shoulders. I promise, even if it's scary it'll help a lot. You're brave you can do this.

Practice on people you're not scared of. Such as family members or people you love. What are some people you're NOT afraid to speak to?

Start by opening up more to someone who you really trust and have known for a while. You can say the little things first and if they're accepting, you can open up more and more. It's always better to open up slowly and testing your ground than rushing it and possibly regretting it later.

Opening up to people is a daunting experience, it means you trysting people with your inner most part of your life. Start with people you trust and take breathe and start slowly and know what you may think may not be what the next person is thinking. Opening up is gift of releasing whats inside of you that needs to come out.

it's good to have a barrier but its also unhealthy to bottle things up. Personally, I know that I shouldn't bottle up my emotions no matter how much I might try to so something that works for me is pretending im not scared until I forget that I am. Sort of like faking it until you make it lol BUT IT REALLY DOES WORK!!!

Right now you are starting to gain insight on getting some support. Good job it took courage to ask this! Maybe you can "open up" to some people you trust. Also share on how this scares you and to be patient with you and know you are trying to open up more. Don't push yourself for others. You do this on your own pace. Good luck Im rooting for you.

First start of online, take 7cups for example. Find people who understand what you're going through and work from there. It may take a while, and that's okay. Just give yourself time.

By accepting yourself the way you are. Be PROUD of who you are . People will automatically accept you. Ask yourself the reason why you fail to accept yourself completely. Do you want to change it? Or embrace it? Also, "Act the you'd like to be, and soon you'll be the way you'd like to act". Best luck!

:) All I can say is start with small talk , not every-one is going to reply but it will bring you out of your shell :)

Try over messaging it helps me because I don’t have to see the persons face or they’re voice I understand to some people the like that they can see and hear another person but for my advice I’d message or text them

You will need to identify and deal with whatever it is that scares you. Such fears are usually learned and can be systematically unlearned.

You don't have to necessarily open up to people. It will take a lot of time and courage to say what you want to say or feel. You may possibly meet open minded people. I understand that because sometimes or oftentimes, it scares me to open up to a lot of people because I never know who could be open minded and close minded. Other than that, I wish the best for you and I do believe that there are some people out there who will understand you the most. Once again, always remember that only open up to those people you trust who happened to be open minded as well. Have a nice day.

Start small, start simple. Ask yourself the purpose for which you are trying to be more open and think about people whom you already know care about you. Start by opening with them about smaller things- your doubts, seek advice or an audience. See how you feel after confiding in someone. Give yourself space to understand your reaction and don't judge yourself. Tell yourself you have time, that its not an all or nothing scenario i.e. you don't have to share everything in a single sitting. Be easy about it because in general the deeper things in life are not intense, but the ones that have a lingering feeling. Don't work against a deadline, but see if openness is adding value to your life and relationship. Relationships have different depths and all are useful in their own way. So openness in each kind of relationship also varies and don't pressure yourself if you don't feel upto confiding in everyone. Take your time and pick your special people :)

You can try new things and take time to start conversations where you could get into the habit of opening up to someone about something you are feeling and try to step out of your comfort zone to see what it feels like. You can also practice on trying how to communicate with others and put effort to talk so it also won't be so weird if it is really difficult you can talk to your peers and ask for some advice or speak to your closset friend and start off slow by telling them how you feel or ask them if they are willing to hear you open up

It’s terrifying to give away a piece of yourself to someone else. No matter how many times you open up to people, it never will be easy. You know yourself better than anybody else on this earth — and you will choose your own path. The easiest path to take isn’t always the right one, and the right path isn’t ever the easy one. But if you work for what you want while doing what’s right, it’ll all be worth it in the end; even it you got burned along the way. The ones who take the cheap, easier ways? Well, they can try to enjoy what they get without knowing how good it really is. I hope this makes sense; my point remains! TLDR: doing the right/good thing will never be easy, but it will always be worth it.

Overcoming your fear of opening up can be resolved by conquering it. (I draw this from my own experience). When I was little I couldn't talk to strangers, never mind opening up to them. I then forced myself to talk to strangers and to open up to people who cared. It takes a lot of willpower, and it's extremely scary, but eventually it gets easier. I can now talk to anyone without feeling awkward or scared and I can open up to people close to me. To practice opening up, you can use 7 Cups. It's not as direct as face-to-face, but it can lessen difficulty over time and make face-to-face less scary. Start small, go big; I always say. I hope this answers your question. With kind regards, Mark H.

Me personally. I feel safe opening up to people just by putting myself out there to socialize even if I do feel uncomfortable. I look at it like this people can either accept you or don't. On the other end no-one has ever accepted me, but to me its really no big deal; because at the end of the day I usually don't want to be accepted by no-one one who has bad company involved with them. Not saying that everyone who is social with others, or me has bad company involved with them, but I guess what I am saying if people don't like you, due to you trying to open up its probably best that you isolate yourself from those type of people.

Opening up to people is not easy and it should not have to be. You got to find the right people the one that you can actually connect with and you can see around for a longer period of time. It will come naturally. Fear is normal it happens to everyone especially if you have been burned before, it gets harder but the first them is admitting that there is something you want to change. So choose your tribe wisely and you will have a lot easier time to open up and enjoy the fact that you do. Stay amazing :)

Opening up is scary for a lot of people, but it doesn't make your situation any less unique! I work with a lot of people that are harboring private or personal secrets that they want to share with family and friends. What I typically suggest is that you take some time to not only consider what you want to say, but also who you want to share with. When you know who you want to share with, consider each person individually. Who are they, what do they like, do they share with you? All you really need is one person to talk to, because after having one person you can really open up to, the next will be easier, and the one after that easier still! Opening up to others is a choice we have to make, and continue making, until it becomes natural for those of us that feel hesitant to do so. Good luck!!!

It's threatening to open up or extend the comfort zone. But, as we do things beyond your comfort zone new strengths develop. I use 10-15 minutes or something like that as needed for allowing or challenging myself to stay in that uncomfortable zone of communication. I take it that 15-20 minutes as opportunity sometime or other time just set aside to be uncomfortable on opening up to people. In those minutes, I am not at myself but something who don't have ego, fear, or threat to open up. That duration usually shrinks or extends but doing so is relieving and also give accomplishment feel

This can be a very tricky question, especially if you are naturally a private person and cannot easily share things about yourself and your life with other people. However, in order to make connections with others, especially if we want those connections to be meaningful, we have to open up more. I feel like we might want to start by sharing anecdotes of ours that aren’t all that essential to who we are, yet can give much space for other people to share their own and become comfortable around us. And by seeing that they are enjoying our company and that they are comfortable, we can eventually start sharing more stuff of our own as well. It is a process and it takes time, and that is okay.

Until you know that the people you open are not here to get at you or use what you said against you, you can open up freely and without having to be scared. The only reason one would be scared to open up to people is if you feel you will be judged, thought of differently, laughed at, etc. You have to let yourself take the risk to open up and trust them. (preferred to only tell people who you trust as not everyone needs to know everything you go through.) After you open up, you'll feel so much better and you'll be relieved you did open up at the end of the day!

You must start by asking yourself why you find it hard to open up to people to begin with? What has happened in your past to build up to this? Many times people have been betrayed or cheated on which leads them to find it difficult to open up again in the future. It is important that you address these issues so that they don’t have an effect on later relationships. Also be mindful that not everyone is out to betray or cheat on you. It is wrong to judge people in later relationships just because you’ve been hurt before.

I know that opening up towards people is hard. I have been there and it is never easy, but I began with people whom I have considered close. As time passes it began to be easier and easier. I know you are your own person but if it makes you feel any better, a lot of us go through with what you are going through. You're not alone and we are here for you. I hope you have a great day and that you feel better through time. I used to close off on the people I love, but that didn't help me at all. Try not to do the same.

If someone trusts you, chances are they value you as a close friend, and would want you to trust them. So people that lay their soul bare for you and seek you out for help, and really appreciate you for that (well first think of how warm and happy that makes you feel like that you are their sounding board for the issues of life, and that may be exactly how they feel if you open up to them), they would definitely like to return the favor. Realize that you are no less than anyone else and probably a beautiful person and if you're best friends with someone they deserve to see the inner you just as much as you deserve to see the inner them

Opening up to people can be super hard at times, but it's not impossible. I used to be super guarded, but then I learned that people want to get to know me, and actually care about my feelings and experiences. Breaking that barrier between friends can be scary, but once its down, you feel closer and more connected with the people you know. I know that feeling of being worried you'll be judged or looked down upon, and it can be crippling sometimes, but the truth is that that most people are empathetic and kind. I learned to surround myself with people who I knew cared about me, and wanted me to be open, finding your circle is very important.

at first i have to let myself calm down.whatever will happen,let it be.if it worse ,let it be worst of me.i have to remove all the negative emotions lurking in my head,and let go of all emotions,all things that i have taken in my mind right now.i have to smile gently,be confident on what i should do and let all my heart pour out all my words but everything i should do with totally being guided by my inner voice.we should not feel shy and think what other people thinks of me,because it can make situations worse.i have to be confident on me.

Be true to yourself if you find it hard to open up it shows there's been something in your life that's made you more cautious and created the need to put up walls in order to protect yourself. It's important you listen to yourself because often your mind is trying to help even though it might come across critical. I would advice starting off with someone you trust and slowly start giving them a little more in depth into you and what you're like. You don't have to be an open book straightaway and that can be scary anyway but rather think of it like chapters that your explaining of your life and the more chapters someone knows about you the more your opening up.

Even considering opening up to people when it causes you fear is an incredibly courageous thing to be doing. Not bottling things up is often good advice but we need to be sure that we are selective about who we do open up to. How would you suggest opening up to a close friend who told you that they had this problem? Treating yourself as that good friend and taking your own advice is a great way to take care of yourself, or practice self-care and that is something that is especially I.oortant if you feel you might be letting yourself be vulnerable by opening up. I give you direct advice as we are all different and si are our situations, but think carefully about who you will open up to and how much you will be letting out.
