Is it normal that i am scared of talking to people?

Well Ok i'm not afraid of talking, but I can honestly say that since 3rd grade I have never divulged a secret to anybody. I will admit that things have happened in my life that probably made it this way: close family members dying, having my heart broken, being made to grow up way too fast, but I am still young. Whenever I get too close to anybody I pull away and although I know this is my fault I just will not talk to anybody.

    if you never share personal things with special people, they will never feel special. i don't mean to say blurt out everything. maybe you could try sharing just one little thing, not a huge thing, and see how it goes. if it feels normal to you not to share intimate things, that's ok, because that is normal for you. lots of people are like that.
    you are just a "private person":)

    I think you might need to see a shrink. It sounds as if you've got some social anxiety issues, but I agree, just maybe tell a tiny secret and see what happens, if that doesn't work, I suggest the first option.
