He sounds selfish to me. Nobody has the obligation to share with anyone else. He needs to learn to respect that. He sounds like he may be someone it is not wise to trust.

Maybe group therapy is not a good idea for you. It sounds as though you are wise to be cautious about sharing in this particular group.

I said that I would work on it, but it scares me because I don't feel as though I have the tools to know how.
Can anyone relate? Or has anyone had this experience and conquered it?

Please don't pressure yourself to work on it. I suspect that it would be better to focus on accepting yourself. You're not a bad person for not trusting. It's just one valid way of being. It's not something to "conquer."
