I Feel Alone
I feel like I can't open up to people who are close to me because they'll think I just want attention : L

Take every stereotype that babyboomers have about millennials, turn them all on their heads, and tweak that collection of thoughts just a bit. The result will be a fairly good description of yourself. You are no attention hog. That said, you may have had negative experiences opening up to people you are close to in the past. That is their fault, not yours. Hopefully at least some of them learn and change their ways. We all have much to learn in life.

It sounds as though you may have had that experience early on in your life. Like, maybe a parent thought you just wanted attention when you opened up to them. If that happened, it might have given you the feeling of being invalidated, and led to a belief in you that you're not worthy of having other people listen to you, consider you, value you. After all, if someone close to you assigned to your opening up to them, something that served THEIR needs instead of yours, how important could your true feelings be to them. (I don't know if any of this is true for you. Does it feel true?)

It's the hardest thing to find someone that won't judge you about what you say I find the internet is a little strange but believe it or not I have met some great nonjudgmental people on here and I find it's easier to open up to someone you know you will never meet
