Opening Up in The Beginning

Sometimes I wonder how people can easily share their thoughts and emotions to others. It perplexes and I am in awe how people can convey themselves so freely. I am a quiet person, and someone who doesn’t open up to others easily or ever at all. This is for a number of reasons, but it’s something I’m trying to work on. A part of me thinks that I will never be fully comfortable sharing myself with others and this is how I was deigned to be. Even online, where my face is unknown, my voice unheard, and where my writing conveys itself to the person I am, can be difficult for me. I don’t know how to exactly do this or even if I fully will be able to at all but, I feel as though I should try. I know why I can’t open myself up to others but sometimes I prefer my seclusion of my inner self. It is a constant battle within myself.
