I have trouble trusting people with personal information, is that normal?

Question

I hate telling even my family how I really feel or what I'm thinking, I'm overly guarded and I don't even know why. I feel that if I share any information about myself somehow it will be used against me eventually. This leaves me feeling alone and isolated, but I'm not sure how to change. Is this normal and if not what are the step a person should take to break out of this habit?

Answer 1

Sometimes i feel that way, but if its something very importent and you feel miserable not telling anyone and keeping it in, talk to your most trust worthy person.

Answer 2

If you have reason to feel that way. Most people don't tell all. I have a bff I trust and tell all. I have other friends that I would not go so deep with. It isn't that I don't trust them not to gossip, it's just that they are not my bff.
