Because you built a wall around yourself thinking that if you ever took that wall down that you'd get hurt. But at some point you have to open up and allow that wall to come down.

You are so afraid to open up because you have a feeling that people will judge you -which no one likes-. But we are here for you. To listen you without judging you as you are safe and have full privacy.

Maybe you can't forget something from your past. Maybe something had touched you so much that you can't forget that and now you are afraid

Some people are afraid to open up for fear of embarrassment but your thoughts do matter and should be heard.

One could be so afraid to open up and express their feelings due to perhaps learning to hide your feelings while growing up.

Sometimes people are afraid to open up because of their past. They might of gotten hurt from people who they did open up to and then shut themselves down to others absentmindedly or on purpose. If it's not from something in the past, it could just as well be that you are afraid of getting hurt in general. Just understand that everyone faces this problem, but letting yourself be free and trusting that everything will be alright is key.

Opening up leaves a person vulnerable. Sometimes, sharing the way you feel, think or want to say is like pouring your heart out to someone. It can leave us with a whirlwind of emotions or worry about trust, etc.

Opening up is hard because you are letting people see the vulnerable side of your self so you don't want people to see the vulnerable side of you. A quote I like is "To share your weaknesses is to make yourself vulnerable to make yourself vulnerable is to show your strength"

I have felt the same way. Trust can affect you not wanting to open up. Afraid to be hurt. Slowly little by little you can open up just take trust and patience from other person.

Sometimes people are afraid to open up because they have been hurt before or they are worried of being judged. The best way to open up is to find someone you trust and let them know what is bothering you.

Maybe you are shy, afraid of judgment, maybe you have been hurt multiple times and are therefore afraid to be yourself.

Opening up can be scary. But to grow it is so important to share and put yourself out there. It's how you know if someone is the right friend, mentor, or partner for you.

Maybe you don't trust the other person. Choose the right person and open up in front of them. Not everyone is worth it to share your feelings.

i feel like that all the time so don't worry your not the only one, sometimes we don't like opening up because were either not comfortable with telling people or because were scared of what they'll think and worried we'll get judged. the best way to open up is with somebody who either gets what your going through or talking to someone who you know wont judge and who will help and support you through it, it can be anyone from a friend/ family member or even a teacher!
hope you find this easier to understand, hope everything works out!;)

It may be possible you grew up having all the people around you telling you what to say and what to keep inside your mind. We all form patterns of communication and our insecurities come from those moments from our childhood most times as well. Try to identify what are the situations in which you feel you aren't feeling okay to open up & also what would make you feel more comfortable. Once you know these elements you can try finding someone who might help you, a good friend in which you trust. Some people tough are just more reserved... It's nothing wrong with that.

Probably because you are afraid to get hurt. Maybe because of being hurt in the past. The thing is you have to know whom to open up to. Don't just open up to anyone and trust must be earned not given.

Opening up can be a very scary thing. Opening up and saying something wrong - that’s now scary. However, the more you open up, the more you’ll feel happy and more comfortable.

Maybe try not to care about what they think or be afraid of them judging you. I've just started a relationship with someone who I met by chance and as I don't care about what they think of me, I don't feel like there's a barrier where I'm holding back my bad traits and the things which make me me. Also, they don't make me feel bad for my judgmental opinions, which is great haha. I think it also depends on the person who you are opening up to; if they're shy as well then it'll be more difficult. However, if you're afraid to open up to them, then maybe you should not bother talking with them.
