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

Try over messaging it helps me because I don’t have to see the persons face or they’re voice I understand to some people the like that they can see and hear another person but for my advice I’d message or text them

You will need to identify and deal with whatever it is that scares you. Such fears are usually learned and can be systematically unlearned.

You don't have to necessarily open up to people. It will take a lot of time and courage to say what you want to say or feel. You may possibly meet open minded people. I understand that because sometimes or oftentimes, it scares me to open up to a lot of people because I never know who could be open minded and close minded. Other than that, I wish the best for you and I do believe that there are some people out there who will understand you the most. Once again, always remember that only open up to those people you trust who happened to be open minded as well. Have a nice day.

Start small, start simple. Ask yourself the purpose for which you are trying to be more open and think about people whom you already know care about you. Start by opening with them about smaller things- your doubts, seek advice or an audience. See how you feel after confiding in someone. Give yourself space to understand your reaction and don't judge yourself. Tell yourself you have time, that its not an all or nothing scenario i.e. you don't have to share everything in a single sitting. Be easy about it because in general the deeper things in life are not intense, but the ones that have a lingering feeling. Don't work against a deadline, but see if openness is adding value to your life and relationship. Relationships have different depths and all are useful in their own way. So openness in each kind of relationship also varies and don't pressure yourself if you don't feel upto confiding in everyone. Take your time and pick your special people :)

You can try new things and take time to start conversations where you could get into the habit of opening up to someone about something you are feeling and try to step out of your comfort zone to see what it feels like. You can also practice on trying how to communicate with others and put effort to talk so it also won't be so weird if it is really difficult you can talk to your peers and ask for some advice or speak to your closset friend and start off slow by telling them how you feel or ask them if they are willing to hear you open up

It’s terrifying to give away a piece of yourself to someone else. No matter how many times you open up to people, it never will be easy. You know yourself better than anybody else on this earth — and you will choose your own path. The easiest path to take isn’t always the right one, and the right path isn’t ever the easy one. But if you work for what you want while doing what’s right, it’ll all be worth it in the end; even it you got burned along the way. The ones who take the cheap, easier ways? Well, they can try to enjoy what they get without knowing how good it really is. I hope this makes sense; my point remains! TLDR: doing the right/good thing will never be easy, but it will always be worth it.

Overcoming your fear of opening up can be resolved by conquering it. (I draw this from my own experience). When I was little I couldn't talk to strangers, never mind opening up to them. I then forced myself to talk to strangers and to open up to people who cared. It takes a lot of willpower, and it's extremely scary, but eventually it gets easier. I can now talk to anyone without feeling awkward or scared and I can open up to people close to me. To practice opening up, you can use 7 Cups. It's not as direct as face-to-face, but it can lessen difficulty over time and make face-to-face less scary. Start small, go big; I always say. I hope this answers your question.

Me personally. I feel safe opening up to people just by putting myself out there to socialize even if I do feel uncomfortable. I look at it like this people can either accept you or don't. On the other end no-one has ever accepted me, but to me its really no big deal; because at the end of the day I usually don't want to be accepted by no-one one who has bad company involved with them. Not saying that everyone who is social with others, or me has bad company involved with them, but I guess what I am saying if people don't like you, due to you trying to open up its probably best that you isolate yourself from those type of people.

Opening up to people is not easy and it should not have to be. You got to find the right people the one that you can actually connect with and you can see around for a longer period of time. It will come naturally. Fear is normal it happens to everyone especially if you have been burned before, it gets harder but the first them is admitting that there is something you want to change. So choose your tribe wisely and you will have a lot easier time to open up and enjoy the fact that you do. Stay amazing :)

Opening up is scary for a lot of people, but it doesn't make your situation any less unique! I work with a lot of people that are harboring private or personal secrets that they want to share with family and friends. What I typically suggest is that you take some time to not only consider what you want to say, but also who you want to share with. When you know who you want to share with, consider each person individually. Who are they, what do they like, do they share with you? All you really need is one person to talk to, because after having one person you can really open up to, the next will be easier, and the one after that easier still! Opening up to others is a choice we have to make, and continue making, until it becomes natural for those of us that feel hesitant to do so. Good luck!!!
