Then again, you don't really owe anyone anything.. If you don't want to talk, you shouldn't have to. Can you tell the people who care about you that you appreciate the fact that they want to help, but that you don't feel the need to talk about what's on your mind just now? And that if you ever do, you'll tell them? That for now, you can just have fun/do whatever you feel like doing..

Thanks d.o.a. The things I don't like admitting are my own mistakes. (I know that sounds really immature of me.)
I did try telling my parents that I would tell them stuff later, but they took that as a sign that I don't love them. The fact that I would have rather talked to a therapist really bothered them.
I think I'm really bad at showing appreciation since I'm really quiet. I also have a tendency to be a people pleaser, so I hold back on saying things that will get me into doing something I don't want to do.

Thanks Thunder Bow. I have no reservations talking with a therapist. In that sense, I don't put up walls.
I got some insight from chatting with someone that my issue deals more with the fact that I strongly dislike myself for not being how my parents want me to be. If anyone comes near to discovering my flaws, that I am faking being an amazing person, then I prefer not to talk about it.
The walls are containing me inside. Not keeping other people out.
