I think it is best to first start with someone or a small group whom you know really well and who really cares for you. Then, try to pluck up some courage to talk to someone. Be polite and be yourself. As you get to interact with more people, you become more aware of your own self when opening up and get more comfortable. :)

Try ask them about their life first, and then open up as they're opening up. Usually people will find it less scary and be inclined to think that the person they talk to isn't judgmental only after they admit about their own mistakes and their own past. Start with something small and work your way up

Opening up to people is a very scary thing to do and can be difficult.Think about what it is that scares you the most and work from that.You could also find another way of expressing what you need to open up about such as writing a poem, drawing a picture or finding quotes which describe you.People won't mind how you open up so long as you do.

Opening up to people can be a very gratifying experience and it can be a massive weight off your shoulders. Relief is a common feeling.

Start slow and build up your courage from there. Start by people you really trust and express your feelings as much as you can, don't push yourself too much. Remember that if they care about you they won't judge you or make you uncomfortable so believe in yourself and that you can do it. Don't pressure yourself to open up if you can't, do what feels natural.

you can open up whenever you want there's no time and limit to it when your comfortable reach out if not take all the time you need and when you need it we'll be here ready to listen or even your teachers and parents and close friends would be able to lend a ear.

You just have to learn to trust people. It's not easy but you have to try ☺. If you still can't, thats what 7 cups is for. Talk to one of the listeners and you'll be able to start opening to people

Start off small, if you don't feel comfortable enough with something then there's no reason to have to say it aloud. Opening up doesn't mean having to do it all at once and have to adjust to it immediately. Opening up means having enough courage to say something about you, without worrying about what the other person says. It takes time, don't force yourself to do it, let it happen. Tell yourself to decide what you want to say and what you're not quite ready to tell.

try to talk to them normaly, be wise when you chose the person to talk too, don't tell about your private life after 2 days of meeting, be normal, some people will have a good relation with you, keep them, in general you should wait about 7 months to know if the person is reliable or not, don't be too open neither too close.

I'm myself scarred to open up to people. At first, I let people come to me on their own but I realized that we must take a little step towards them. You do not have to show you too much but try to speak with one of them and then let the time does its work
