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

Different circumstances could be accountable at hand. Find ways to open up to yourself first. Helping others will help you in the process. Let others open up to you, and in a way, you will begin to learn the same routine for yourself. Hope this helps. Stay positive. :)

Most of time it is because you are not trying actually to open up to people. There is always a fear to start speaking your mind which should be ended.

I can't answer that with perfection, but I am sure of one thing: if you start to give up on opening up to people it is least likely that they open up with you. I myself have difficulty in opening up to people that I don't know very well/that are not my love ones, and I found out that 7 Cups provides a magnificient training for that. Maybe you can start by that.

"Opening up" is a very subjective ideal to have. To some, it means sharing information like our birthday and our favorite color. To others, it's sharing our deepest darkest secrets, flaws, fears. There are a lot of ways to, "open up" to other people - so do not discount yourself as closed off so easily. Opening up, in the most productive sense, means finding common ground with another person. Types of music you both like, foods you enjoy, etc. Start with common ground, there you will find topics where you can easily open up and share your thoughts with others.

Opening up to people requires a level of comfort for everyone. Some people require more comfort than others. Making sure you feel safe will make it easier for you to open up, so consider what you think it will take for you to feel safe enough there?

Opening up to people might be quite challenging especially when trust issues and unfortunate past experiences interfer. Having a small circle of friends-people who you can trust- is all you need. It is not the number of people but the quality. Learn to open up with things you are mostly proud of about yourself; A favorite band,book and place to be at. I wish you keep your secrets , any personal whether sad or happy evebts to yourself until you completeley trust the other person. It is alright trust issues may seem hard to cope with. But people need each others to heal ;)

Opening up is about letting go of insecurity, being comfortable with sharing your own truths. It also has to do with being comfortable with being face to face with another person. A lot of people have trouble interacting with other people these days because we don't spend as much time in front of others these days. We spend a lot of time in front of screens/

You can, but it takes practice. You have to push yourself emotionally to share a little bit at a time. You must push through the fear of rejection and shame you think you might receive in return for your thoughts. Practice with closest friends and family first and start with opening up about superficial things such as your opinions, then working to your deepest emotions. After time and practice, you will be able to open up to people.

Learning to open up to people takes time and exposure. For some people, opening up makes them feel vulnerable and fear getting hurt. Perhaps in the past something happened where they opened up and got disappointed. Sometimes it is good to be closed to people as a way to protect yourself. You just need to know when to open up and not.

Because you are scared of being judged by people and their opinions about you. Realize that you are perfect and people that matters love you the way you are.
