How can I open up to people more even if it scares me?

Try to find a common topic to discuss or ask a lot of questions about themselves. Inquiring about someone vocation is a great icebreaker.

People are not going to judge you. And even if they do, it's their problem not yours. Don't let negative thoughts come in your mind that everyone is thinking about how bad you are. What you think in your mind is not same to what Others are thinking. Other people have 1000s of thoughts in their mind and millions of things going in their lives. You are just one part of that 1000 thoughs. So just chat with people and don't over think about it.

Start small. You can share simple things that you feel are not too major. Opening up can be a very scary thing to do, but like most things, if you start out small, it might not be easy, but it will at least feel doable. If you're lucky, you'll find somebody who makes you want to share everything and wants you to share it all with them.

Remember that most people only have good intentions; the more you open up, the better equipped they are to be your friend. They will understand you better and know how to treat you well.

You need to pick people you love and trust to open up to. Even thou you are scared you need to remember they have your best interest at heart. Tell the person you are talking to that you are scared and nervous, I am sure they will open their arms and their hearts and will help you thru what ever you are going thru . Just remember it starts with you. Trust is stronger than fear

opening up to people can be scary, especially when you have been hurt in the past. Sometimes you have to just put yourself out there, you may be pleasantly surprised at what you get in return.

Take it 1 step at a time, always remember once you have gotten it off your chest you will feel a lot better.

Try and understand that most people are friendly and helpful! On the other hand, you may find solace in sharing your experience and learning from others.

It takes a lot of courage to open up to someone, especially when it scares you. The best thing to do is calm yourself down, relax and breathe, and think to yourself what you want to say. It especially helps if you're opening up to someone you know well and trust.

Every step counts, no matter how small. Start by talking about less personal things, and allow the conversation to flow naturally. If you meet an obstacle, acknowledge it. It takes two to clap, so both parties must put in the effort to make the conversation work.
