Learning to open up to people is a hard thing to do and many people struggle with it. This may be because you have some trust issues or have a fear of being vulnerable. By opening up you are letting people into the private parts of your life that many other people don't get to see. When opening up these people see your weaknesses and fears that may subconsciously be causing you to believe they will use these against you. This can make you have your guard up constantly which can make it difficult to open up to people.

Opening up is a very difficult task. Some people think that not sharing anything would mame then look strong and perfect in front of others, while others beleive the opening up can help them feel better, and lighter. It can be difficult to open up to people you don't trust, or those who you think will judge you. But people like bestfriends, parents, or a therapist who value you, will listen to you. You just need to trust them, and beleive that opening up would be like medicine for you. A medicine that could possibly help you get better from anything you're facing/going through.

Hm, this can be a tough question! Opening up to people can be really hard for some, and for others it can be super easy! It is all a matter of things that have happened in your life, and your personality! There are things we can do, for example learn about trust, and exercises to build trust! It's also important to not that just because you can't open up very easily doesn't mean it's necessarily a bad thing!!! It can be good, like a little shell protection! So next time you think about it, try and remember that. Hopefully this could help!!

You need to be comfortable with that person. Through trust issues, you have to learn how to trust others first. Get to know them and learn what type of person they are. After that, it will be a lot easier to open up to others. You have to be willing to learn how to trust those that you want to open up too. If you don't trust them it will be extremely hard to open up to that person. Just try to tell them some little things about yourself and then see if you can trust them that way. It will help you so much!

Inner fears! Lack of confidence! Self de-motivation! There can be ample of reasons and you will definitely not fall short of them. But the main thing is we need to focus on just one of them and work! Yes just work on it! There are many a times when we are not able to visualize the latent talents within us and if brought to full colors will not only make us open to people but actually impress them. If its confidence that you lack, which is the case in most of the studies done, then the best would be to watch or read some good resources on public speaking. Who knows, that can really help.

Opening up to people is not so easy for everyone. Infact, it is absolutely normal to be hard sometimes. Maybe you just haven't found the right people to open up to yet, or reached the level of trust that you as a pesron need to open up to others. And that is okay. Although it may be tricky, remember that with the right people nobody will ever judge you. You have nothing to be afarid of, infact, venting to someone is such a great way to clear your mind and get important stuff clearly into focus. Trust yourself, you can do it, when you think you found someone who you think is the right person to talk to, go for it.

Probably you have an experience, a rather unhappy one from a close relationship , usually when people shut themselves in its due to opening up to someone and getting slamed in the face Honestly its not easy to flow with someone but risks are there to be taken sometimes it brings pain but even pain has its own gain ...you have to reach out to be seen . First you can start with talking about casual things , his your day went , hobbies ? With time you will find yourself talking freely with that person ..so dont be scared its all a gradual process good luck ...😊

Opening up to others can be so challenging because we're making ourselves extremely vulnerable in doing so. Being and feeling vulnerable is scary because we're suddenly open to potential rejection. Naturally, as humans, we fear rejection. Often we feel this way if we've been hurt before and our instintive way to cope is to close off and build a wall to protect ourselves from ever feeling that way again. Learning to open up again, or even for the first time has to be built on trust and respect for that other individual. That can take a lot time as a relationship strengthens and proves to us it's a safe space.

Opening up can be hard, you may easily feel like it’s going to go wrong once you start speaking and letting yourself be vulnerable, but you’ll know when you’re ready to talk to someone, don’t force it or hold on too long, whatever it is make sure you can trust those persons or person. Through everything it’s quite normal to not want to share certain details to anyone but has time goes by you’ll find yourself gradually speaking without even knowing. It’s all a process, some process takes months others take years but in the end you will realize you eventually learned to do it.

You have insecurities, afraid if once you open up, you're only to feel more pain. What if others hate you when you say this? What if others embarrass you if you say this? This kind of question obviously pops out ni your mind whenever you want to say something. You are hurt and don't want to get more hurt, which is why you think holding everything inside is the only choice you have. People judgment can sometimes be more painful than we could ever imagine to the point we can't help but to shut ourselves up from saying what's on our mind.
Have a helpful insight? Don’t keep it to yourself.
Sharing helps others and its therapeutic for you.
