One of the hardest things I had to do was "open up" to some people...
I don't know why but whenever I want to do it I hesitate.
I think about it a million time...
Is it really that scary to open up?

I even thought if this thread should be made or not... :os

Yes. It's very scary.

I've had trust issues for a long long time. From very early in my life, I've had to keep secrets because I didn't trust anyone. Not even the people closest to me.

But with time, I've learnt to let go. And when you let go, it feels like finally - you can put that sack of potatoes down from on your shoulders. The relief you feel is undescribable. :yes:

To people, I never do unless I've had it and I am taking it all out the wrong way; shouting. Sometimes, long back, I got physical with Superbia, poor her! She got a slap and I pulled her hair :p

To my husband, it wasn't easy at the beginning. It took me sometime to open up to him normally. But, I am okay now :) I can open up to him about anything and everything, it's not an issue anymore.

But yes, it is scary, or atleast the thought of it because you don't know how that person is going to take it and whether him/her will understand.

Yeah, I'm always the victim :bored:

^ Everyone thought you deserved it. I don't feel guilty ;)

No, it is not hard unless the person I had to open up to was the person concerned in the issue that was bothering me. Usually, it is a piece of cake. I really can't recall any instances that it was hard to open up to somebody about anything.

I don't go telling people personal things about me. But when I do, it is someone I usually trust and I know I won't be judged. So it is easy peasy to open up to them :)

So your advices are "open up to someone very close to you"
No matter what gender they are?!
Even though I want to do that... It is not easy.
I feel like what I am saying is either too much for them to handle or because I don't want to hurt them...
I know I need to tell someone somethings at times to feel better but I don't know why I get this fear...
So I guess it is normal! :cute:

I always had problem in opening up, to everyone since i was a kid.
I always kept it to my self even if someone was experincing the same problem.
I just managed to open up to my husband and as thaila said it feels really good. Yes i guess if u have problems in telling people about your personal stuff make sure u open up to someone u really trust and feel comfortable with, a person that even if u did the most horrible thing their view of u wouldnt change and would still love you for who u are and not by the way u are just so you dont have regrets or feel insecured later because that person knows something personal about u.

i think if someone has a problem with opening up with a family member, they should seek the help of a professional counsillor or a psychologist, especially if they have a problem that's hindering them from living decently.

Can be scary because of the trust factor.

I don't think it is hard, in fact I find it very easy to do so - almost too easy. I also think that a lot of the time people let you down when you trust them, sometimes even unknowingly. People are imperfect like that.

I've come to think that I should only open up to someone if I am prepared to deal with the consequences of them abusing my trust. Most of the time they are not worth it.

I have learned to never open up with any person, meaning never tell your secrets to anyone and never be so kind with the people especially nowadays. I was so kind with some people n I really was helping and advising them from my heart but unfortunately I was the one who suffered at the end. I won’t generalize but most of them are like that. So better be some how formal with them, I am trying to keep my distance.

And yeah its scary at least for me

Its hard at times but to me somehow I just feel it’s not that big of a deal

I open up very easily with my close friends because I trust them and love them to do so …you just have to think deeply about how and what to open up about and you will do it.
