Answer 5

It sounds like you just need to gain more self confidence.  As they say, if you don't believe in what you have to say, who will?  It has to start with you, and then you will have what it takes to share with others.  Some may think of this like a sales position.  Their goal is to sell someone something.  It does not really matter what it is, but if the sales person can talk it up and be convincing, they make a sale! So, SELL YOURSELF! Have confidence in everything you have to say to others!

Answer 7

tell people stuff, even though you don't want to, it'll help you open up for easier

Answer 8

Pretend your talking to your friends and not your parents, and you're trying to get some opinions.

Answer 9

Ask yourself what purpose does it serve you, then ask would you be willing to surrender the payoff for the opportunity to be more open.  Most things boil down to intentions and motives and purpose.  If you can realize them and and undercut the base they come tumbling down for a higher understanding.  Only do what you can at the time and don't force anything.  Be allowing.

Answer 10

Be honest with everyone, including your own family. People will have to accept you for who you really are, or you will be lying to yourself and them too and this will make you a fake person. Be positive and take the plunge...

Answer 11

Quit investing yourself in the opinions and beliefs of others.

You don't need anyone's approval but your own.

If you live only for others, you will never live for yourself.

NO ONE can be trusted 100% INCLUDING yourself. But you can trust yourself the most because you have some degree of control over yourself. There are people outside of you who at best you can trust 75% maybe 80%. That's very good but remember there are things you don't tell anybody because people are not equipped to deal with certain things and may make life hard for you due to their lack of understanding.

What you want as a career, go for it. Do not hesitate. It brings joy to your life so pursue it. Maybe your parents will understand and maybe they won't. If you feel they will, tell them if you choose. Be prepared for them not to understand though.

The difference between being a follower and being a leader is that a leader needs no one's prior approval. Self-directed, self-controlled.

I think that's the best way to be.
