I am also very careful who I open up to.

It does depend on the relationship, although it’s not always the case that a close relationship is always a one I feel safe opening up in. For instance my sister and my parents both have ample enough worries, I don’t want to burden them with mine, so they’ll get the abridged version of what is happening in my life.

It often feels a little uncomfortable to me opening up so I have to do it gently, a little at a time, if that makes sense. Like dipping my toes in the water.

Here is a good place to open up I feel, it’s anonymous and reciprocal. How do you feel about opening up here with us?
