That's got to be horrible, feeling like sharing your thoughts and feelings is such an extreme violation. Have you considered what is the worst possible scenario if you open up? Assuming you're not talking to them about killing yourself or someone else, what is the worst possible outcome that might follow opening up more?

I think it is not really about the outcome.... All I know is how I feel at that particular moment and I feel violated. It just goes against my very nature to open up to people like that. I don't think I fear betrayal, it simply doesn't work for me. It's like you'd force a cat to bark... it won't bark because it is a cat, all it can do is meowing.
