I find explaining it to others helps me to open up - even though I don't have a diagnosis, and I will always state that, I'll explain what about it I relate to.
Of course, I only do that with people I feel like I want to try trusting. If I talk about it, they're usually very surprised - I do not often behave in a way that reflects how I think and feel.
