Opening up is difficult, but don’t push yourself if you don’t feel like it. If you find someone whom you feel comfortable around, don’t hesitate to open up, take your time, most of all.

Opening up to someone is a hard thing to do. It's always a good idea to start small. Tell a family member about your day and how certain things made you feel. This way you start to get comfortable with talking about small things and learn to open up about things that worry you

Some are shy and some doesn't trust. I'm a person with trust issue. Opening up to people is hard. Some needs to earn it, you opening up to them. You just need to accept yourself and them, and you will open up to people.

Apps like 7 cups are extremely helpful with that stuff. Talk to your listener! And I’m sure you’ll get it figured out.

It's hard. Sometimes we feel like the other person won't care or can't provide the support we need. Or sometimes we're just scared to. But it's okay.

It is a very hard thing to do. It can be because you have had a bad experience or that you find it hard. Doing it in small steps can help. Maybe either speaking to a listener here and then finding the courage to talk to someone you know and open up about things.

You may have experienced a bad relationship. Sometimes it can just be your personality whether your an introvert or extrovert. We self-reject before we give others the chance to do it because we are afraid to be judged. You can simply just not be able to explain how you feel.

Opening up to anybody can be a very difficult thing to do. For me, I find it best to understand limitations. When talking to somebody, make sure that you know who that person is to you. What their role in your life is. Make sure that you understand anything that they think of you will be based on what you tell them. If you're not comfortable sharing your deepest fears, then don't. That being said, don't stay closed off to everybody you meet for the fear of rejection. Those who matter won't care and those who care don't matter. That means, if someone judges you for who you are, they clearly aren't meant to be in your life for the support that each and every individual needs and deserves.

Opening up to people isnt as easy as it seems. When you have a personal experience with opening up to someone and either getting hurt or let down, it is normal to not open up again because you constantly live in that mindset that you'll get hurt. It is a long process and it will only work if you are willing to take it step by step. You've probabaly been through alot and shouldn't be upset with yourself if you have a hard time opening up. I personally find it hard to open up to people that aren't considered close. I even have a hard time opening up to those who are very close to me. Surrounding yourself with good people is a good start

Because opening up to someone is not an easy thing to do at all. Some of us find it easier to keep it all to ourselves instead of telling other people how we feel, which is totally normal. Opening up to people is not something you can learn to do, because your problem most likely isn't just trouble opening up. Sometimes, the problem that we have is anxiety, which can be the whole issue behind not being able to open up to others. And that is something you can overcome, simply by working on it. Some of us naturally keep it to ourselves more than others!
