I can't relate to people...
I am a very quiet, timid person, and I do not mingle with any groups. I rarely let my emotions show, even to my close friends and family, I keep everything that goes through my head and heart buried deep. I cannot bring myself to open up with anyone, even my closest friend. The few times I even began to hint at wanting to discuss some concern or insecurity of mine, they seem to shrink away, as if they were uncomfortable, and do nothing more than shrug their shoulders and look at me as though they are at a loss of words, and wait for me to say "nevermind" and go on to something else. It is the same with everyone. I feel like I have been there for so many people in their times of need, and no one is there for me. I feel like I am emotionally on my own at all times.

Sorry, you need to be signed in to comment.
Check out these other IIN stories:
You need to find someone who you trust and feel comfortable with, then you tell them that you are being serious and you really need to get things off your chest. You start the conversation, do not let them waffle on about themselves and do not hint, get straight to the point. If it helps do it by text or IM, some people find face to face interaction uncomfortable.
If they care for you they are obliged to listen to you and it will make you feel tones and loads better because you have less to think about and therefore you are more open within yourself. The way you see youself is the way others will too.
Sorry its so long but i hope it helps
in school, in the begining of the day be like i have to tell you something later.
next time, AGAIN say ive got to tell you something.
by the end of the day, theyll be coming to you asking whats wrong.
On the other hand, if you are holding back from sharing feelings etc. to the point of emotional constipation - don't blame your friends for being nervous about your neediness & their fear of being dumped on. In that case you are just going to have to practice opening up as a part of normal day to day life. And thats just an interpersonal skill anyone can learn.
