Do you have an easy or difficult time expressing your internal thoughts and feelings to others?

I honestly have a pretty hard time with it. For reasons relating to my childhood, constantly having been told to shut up and stop crying by my parents when I was young, I think. Lead to me becoming incredibly introverted and so opening up to me always tends to feel kind of weird. Like I'm imposing on others and will just get on their nerves talking about my personal bullshit.
