Why can't I learn to open up to people?

It might be something in you, maybe you've had bad experiences in the past, maybe you're afraid of what people can do with such fragile information. Which I understand. I think you need one or two people you can open up to, if you wish to open up to people in general, try talking to people you feel most comfortable opening yourself up to. I hope you get better at this, for your own sake of course!

If you have been hurt by someone before, that could do it. Your conscious or subconscious is not allowing you to get close to people or trust people.

Sometimes it's hard for us to open up because we may not be happy with ourselves in the first place. You need to be happy with you before you can share yourself to the world

That was me before 😱 but I'm glad that I'm not like that anymore 😊 I think it's because you're afraid that they might not understand you and just judge you when you open up to them

There can be a couple of reasons.But the good thing is you can really change all of them.You can't open up maybe because you're afraid of what people are going to think about your opinions/ reactions.You're being really conscious all the time, the reason why you feel that "okay I'll just stay quiet" . Which will never get this rid of you trust me.You need to be confident about yourself, and love yourself.Only then you'll make an impression infront of people.You'll be frank with them.But it all starts with you, as to how you want to make yourself appear infront of everyone.Stop caring with what people will think, and you'll see how much well things get.

Probably a lot of reasons. I'm going to share a few times when people come to me telling me that they're afraid to share good news with people. The person tells me: "I have been dieting and have been eating normally for the first time in months" and I tell them that's great. It really is so great. That is a person who is pushing their boundaries and overcoming an obstacle. I think part of not opening up to people is afraid that they won't care or acknowledge you. Because when I hear people are hesitant, I ask why and its usually because when they tell people, they never get encouraged. The person seems to devalue it. So there is probably so many reasons why you can't learn. If you're an honest person who is really trying, then this might be why.

You may need to find people who share common interests, and enjoy the same things you do. Be confident in yourself , and take pride in what you do. I personally have thought of myself as shy most my life, but I've learned majority of people don't share the same mindset as me an I'd rather be quiet than have meaningless small talk. When you find someone similar to yourself, opening up will happen by simple conversation. You'll feel comfortable when you believe the people listening actually care about what you have to say.

Opening up to people can be a difficult task, I totally get that. Trusting a person enough to be able to tell them things or how you're feeling can be very hard. These things take time and practice. Choose a person you feel completely understands you, is patient, and trustworthy. Practice through them. Don't worry, you'll get there soon.

It is hard opening up to people, especially after being betrayed by a friend, or someone close. Sometimes it can be fear of rejection or getting hurt from opening up to people. Maybe try going slow and opening up to someone you are fully comfortable with and trust.

This could be for many reasons. The main reason is usually the support either hasn't been previously provided for you or they have shut you down. Sometimes it is due to fear of being rejected. It all depends on your life experiences.
