Please Just Help Me...

I can't trust people, and it scares me. I mean I can't tell my friends anything about myself because I'm either ashamed, guilty, embarrassed, and paranoid that the person I tell either won't care or will think differenttly of me.

I haven't had a hard life, but things haven't been the easiest. 2 years ago I went thru a bad depression and self injured for 2 and a half months, and almost killed myself I told one of my friends and she told another one of my friends and this really hurt. Just this past year my dad was diagnosed with cancer and so was my grandma. I'm not very close to my parents like at all, their not bad parents or anything but yeah know and I think all this relates back to why I can't trust....

Now I need advice on how would I go about telling my close friend that I want to open up to her but I have these issues. She trusts me with so much and honestly, I need to start talking with my friends because this is just too hard. Do you think she needs to know this stuff about my past and how can I just ask her to be there for me and listen to me without sounding selfish or needy?

Thanks so much for the time:)

i think you need to tell her if she is one of your close friends then she wont care and she will be there for you! Thats all you can ask for from her! You should def tell her! Goodluck with everything!

i think if you tell her what you need to tell her, but you dont have to go into your past.

i know it can be hard to trust people, but if you bottle up to much, u will explode (not literaly of cause).

talk to this freind, tell her whats worrying you, but stress that this is to be kept between you and her.

i hopw your family recovers
