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

Opening up to people really is scary and I think the best way to open up to them is to become more close with them at first, so that you'll gain your trust to them and easily open up to them.

Practice, with people who you close and slowly approach people example your close people's friends they can help you slowly open up.. and the most important is a support fro friends, family and people near you

learning from my own experience opening up to people it's not easy for there is so many reasons to have fear of being laughed at being made fun of not taking you serious not caring about what you truly feel inside your heart and soul not understanding the true struggles that we face each and every day and that includes our habits the hardest lessons for us to learn is that not everybody thinks and feels the same way everybody is different we always have to understand and considered that everything when it involves a brand new person it is a fresh start our lessons from that is not to assume or picture that person as the previous person who has hurt us

I found that when i opened up to people after I was assaulted I felt a release, like I was no longer alone in the fight. I find talking over a chat rather than face to face makes to easier to explain and be honest about how i feel. Its taking the first step which is the hardest part..

I suppose it's good to start small - tell someone a tiny thing about you that makes you feel uncomfortable, then you have achieved the first step *high fives* next try saying something else/something more and keep going. I believe that you can do this buddy ❤

Start by talking to someone you are close with. You just have to take the first step, and then things will start falling into place. Once you get comfortable opening up to that person, try someone you are not as close with. Continue this process!

Push yourself. Push beyond the butterflies, the nerves, the fear, just everything. And don't be to hard on yourself. Be patient with yourself too. Don't think pushing yourself is forcing yourself.

Start with the small things. Use this as an avenue to get more comfortable discussing the major things in your life.

Its very scary opening up to people for multiple reasons. But it always feels good after if you tell the right people who care and/or love you. Be sure to start with the people you're closest to, either if that's a parent, significant other, friend or anyone. If they play a big part in your life, they deserve to know and they should want to help you with whatever your going through. You can start by just a regular conversation, it can be worrying but talking to the person about something else first eases everything. This is what i do, i always say "I need to tell you something". It will be hard to spit it out but that means they know something is up, and you have no way of backing out. Then you say it, you can tell the person to wait to say anything until you're done explaining. Also, haha, do it in a comfortable environment, not someplace tense, like a grocery store. Always remember, everyone needs to open up about something some time in their life, so you are not alone!

Be confident and make sure you take a step at a time don’t rush! Write out what your going to say before hand on notes so it gets you prepared but most of all be brave and you’ll be fine.
