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

Believe that nothing is greater than you. You are the best.When you think so, you have nothing to be scared of.

Sharing with other people is the ultimate tool in bonding with them. Bonding is crucial in interacting with others as it highlights common ground and can make you feel less like you are unusual or strange. Opening up to others can seem daunting especially if you are shy or not confident but taking small steps is a useful approach. You don't even have to be friends with someone to form a bond; the irritation at having to wait too long at a bus stop with other people can be the catalyst for creating a bond as you will all be waiting together, and ultimately all experiencing the same thing. If you find it hard to open up, try to remember that others do too and try to recall the way you feel when someone unexpectedly opens up to you. It's likely you will feel special and that is a great way to make others feel the same.

You have the power to change things by being open and sharing things even if it scares you! I mean can try someone very trustful and close to you and little by say all your feelings. Keep in mind also that being completely open with everyone in every situation may be very inappropriate. You may want to be more open with your spouse or close friends, but not with your boss or people you don't know as well. You may choose not to be open with people you don't fully trust, because to be open is to share vulnerable information about yourself. And if you don't fully trust how someone else will use that information about you, you may choose not to share it. Also, some people may be very uncomfortable with too much openness and you may not want to be as open with them. Openness is making your outer world as similar to your inner world as possible. When you're feeling jealous, happy, anxious or sad why not share with other people what you're really feeling. We call this being congruent. That is letting what shows, your expression, frown, words represent what you actually feel and think. That takes hard work and a lot of honesty. (Again a reminder of caution about being open and sometimes being too open. In the name of being open we say everything we feel or think to others, but fail to be sensitive to others feelings about our openness. We may make them feel very uncomfortable or say something that hurts them. Being open also carries a responsibility with it and that is to be aware of others reactions to us and to respect their reactions.

Opening up to people can be hard, i've done it so many times and ive gotten hurt, but when i did it with other people, i got lasting friendships out of it. when you think someone deserves to hear about you tell them the small things. as you learn to trust them then move up to the bigger things. don't always give into opening up to the people who threaten to leave you if you don't because if you don't then them leaving you won't be nearly as painful

The best step is to take it slow and remember to breathe! Slow and focused breathing can help stabilize you in times of need.

Opening up to people is an invite to others to get to know you, and it is also the only way u can receive anything from another person. When u want to open up and u begain to feel afraid of what horrible things could result of you opening up, try to counter that fear with what beautiful and resourceful relations or connections could result of your sharing yourself. Remember, opening up can be as little or as great as what's comfortable to you. Open :)

Try to look for the best in people, instead of the worst. When you meet people, their actions, body language, tone of voice etc can help you determine whether they're someone that you should open to or not. Just be careful, most people are fairly decent and generally nice, but there are a few ones who are just plain mean.

I think it's important to take steps in the process. You can start slow, just opening up a little bit to the people that you love and trust, and eventually you'll get kinda used to it (even if it's still scary) just be careful about who you open up to and who you trust. Don't let that stop you, though. I know from personal experience that if you let fear rule your life, you will miss out on so many opportunities. Just go at your own pace. You'll have to push past your comfort zone a bit to get used to opening up, but remember not to force things on yourself. Take things at your pace.

In the end, it always makes your situation more simple to cope with as well as move forward. It will clear your mind and/or conscience.

Find the people you trust and open up to them. It's gonna be okay because you will find people who are caring and who you will be able to trust with your life. It might take awhile but you will.
