When I say I dislike opening up to my boyfriend it’s because I’ve spent my whole life keeping my emotions to myself due to having an abusive parent and not having any real friends. Now that I am in a relationship, I am expected to open up to my boyfriend about things I’d rather just keep to myself, even simple things like if I’m having a bad day. I just hate talking about my personal stuff to anyone! Just wondering if anyone feels the same. I’ve been trying to open up to him but it’s incredibly difficult but I still do it. I mean I’ve kept a LOT of things to myself for the past 20 years so it’s hard to be put in a situation where someone wants you to open up to them
