The "right" thing that everyone says is be open. Dont hide your emmotions, or bury your worrries and or fears. That only lets them grow to the extremes. When this buildup becomes too much it can cause serious dammage, like depression, withdrawl...
On the other end of the spectra, dont go losing your cool, and crying at every instance. Maintain your composure, but be more open to people. Talking about your problems is the best way to deal with them.
I'm the same as you, i dont let anyone near me, afraid i might hurt them in some way. But when someone else is down, i absorb their emmotion and make it mine. Its tough, but we gotta live through it or change. Its your own choice that makes you who YOU are.
