To be blunt, past trauma. If you don’t believe you can be open, you may have felt very betrayed or unheard during certain events in your life. If so it’s reasonable why you wouldn’t open up. Being surrounded by fake friends and those who don’t actually care about you will make you just want to keep it all in. While you shouldn’t just open up to anyone, I’d recommend starting with a family or close friend to start gradually allowing yourself to be vulnerable.

It’s okay to not want to open up about your feelings to everyone OP, but you don’t have to suffer alone. Find your real people and they will listen. True friends won’t judge, they’ll give advice on the situation and will want to see you grow. I hope you can open up one day OP and I believe in you! Hope this helped!

I agree with you, just to add though. This is coming from bad dynamics you have already survived. Now you know what to look out for and how to protect yourself in it. Not every person is going to replicate your past but you have to give them the chance to show you they won’t. You got it and you don’t have to be alone and suffer in silence anymore
