Before opening up to anyone, just try to have a look on yourself like what are your strengths and weaknesses. Try to listen others and try to understand what they are saying, what they mean. After that pick some points which are according to your strength over which you can talk to them. I think it's the best way to open up with others

Take baby steps! It's going to scare you unless you keep doing it. the more you try to open up to people (I would suggest friends first since that tends to be easiest), the more comfortable you'll be with it.

Well, opening up is one of the most important thing, and if you open up to a wrong person, it can be a dangerous thing. So the first step in opening up is looking for a person whom you trust and are comfortable with. Once it's done, it's quite simple actually, just find a quite and peaceful place, and you are ready to go.

It might seem scary at first to open up to people, but learning to trust people more helps with that. The more you trust someone, the easier it is to open up to them.

You may start sharing to someone you trust. Start talking about daily activities... like how was your day, what you did etc.

Just start by sharing a little bit of your situation at a time. You don't have to share your story all at once! And, if you feel like you can't talk about your problem yet, just talk about anything until you feel more comfortable.

Choose people who are accepting and don't seem like they would judge you for it ever things you think are negative about yourself. Possibly you can talk to a counselor first, because it is their job not to judge you.

Before you open up to anybody, please make sure that it is someone you trust! You could ask the person to respect your confidentiality before you confide in them and explain that you were nervous about opening up! Remember that we are all human and everybody has something or other on their mind, whether they show it or not. x

Don't force yourself to open up to people who aren't close to you. If someone is very close to you, it shouldn't be that hard to open up. Definitely don't force yourself, it won't do any good. Try to tell only the most important things, easily, don't go into details.

Practicing in small increments with activities you enjoy. Keeping casual conversations with others and being mindful of times in conversations where you can take a small step. Starting with sharing information that isn't very sensitive or serious is also an easy way to start the process of opening up !
