Hey everyone!

I'd like to thank everyone who replies, in advance, it means a ton! I will try to keep my question short.

I am a twenty-two year old female and have been dating someone for a few months. They are always bringing up how I am not open enough with them and how I need to share my feelings more. It really seems to bother them.

The reason I am not open is because I only want them to see the best sides of me. I don't want them to know how depressed I can get and how there are many days where I don't even want to get out of bed or do anything. I'm afraid of sharing this because I don't want them to be turned off or think I have too much baggage.

But at the same time, they are noticing that I seem depressed sometimes! So, I'm not doing a good job hiding things, apparently.

Should I completely confide in them? Is it really important for me to be honest if I want this relationship to work?

Thanks for all your help!
