Opened up big-time today; now so scared...

Today I opened up to someone that I know (a guy) about something that I have never told anyone EVER. At the time I expressed by concern, I felt kinda brave. It is harder to open up with a guy and I don't have a lot of practice with it either. Now I have felt SO SCARED and VULNERABLE!! I feel anxious inside. I just want to cry. How scary this is for me!!!!

Did you tell him something because you felt like you could trust him? Or were you trying to step out of your comfort zone to see if you could do it?

Zoom out and look at the big picture instead of zooming in on this one thing. Maybe that will help with the anxiety and you won\'t feel so trapped.
