I find it hard to open up

When I try to open up by speaking to someone, I just don't get to see myself better not to mention I find myself stressing myself up that I cannot open up properly no matter what I do I still cannot convince myself to open up, maybe it's that feeling that I am to afraid of everyone that I see but also my insecurities, whenever my friends try to cheer me up by smiling I do not laugh nor smile not even one bit. I am really thinking about just giving up on opening up considering it's happened for more than year since I've never got to fully open up.

    this is totally normal and i get it. i hope you figure out a way to learn how to open up because it can help but i understand being scared to do it and because i don't know the people in your life i don't know if they'd be good people to open up to. a therapist is a good person to open up to, though.

    Open up to yourself first. Journal and be radically honest. Then you can decide what is and isn’t appropriate to share with others

    Yeah, its not normal i don't think but same here my family does not really even know me. I would say only 2 people truly know me but they don't really care that much bout me.
