Although it's hard for many to open up there are so many ways for more healthy communication. Always being open to listen. Listening to your person express themselves will make them feel good. Take your time, don't ever rush yourself to speak up and express your feelings if you don't feel ready. Rushing yourself to open up will jumble all your thoughts and make it harder to communicate. Make sure you feel comfortable with who you're opening up too. Make sure you trust that person and feel able to communicate with them, if you don't feel like you can trust that person don't waste your time opening up.
