So this is a weird quirk about myself and I was wondering if anyone else understands what I mean. The closer I get to someone and the longer I know him/her the less comfortable I feel opening up to him/her. I am thinking that is has something to do with a fear of rejection, but I am only guessing. I feel like I could tell my life story and all of my problems to a complete stranger, but I find it hard to tell my boyfriend about anything that bugs me.

Lately, I have been having a lot of anxiety and I think maybe I should go to a doctor and tell him/her about how I am feeling. However, the thought of going to see my doctor that I have had for half of my life and telling him I get depressed and anxious scares the living daylights out of me. However, I feel as though I could easily go to a new doctor and not have any issue at all telling him/her about my anxiety.

So it is not just my boyfriend I have this problem with, but also my family and close friends. After awhile it happens with my co-workers too if I have been working somewhere long enough. But if a stranger stopped me on the street and asked me if I was depressed or what was bothering me I could tell him/her even the most intimate details.

Does anyone else feel this way?
