i recently started dating my favourite person. i’ve really liked them since i met them a year ago, but assumed it wasn’t mutual so i accepted friendship. but now that we’re together i can’t seem to talk to him. i have the same problem with my family. when i try to speak i get that feeling before you cry. my throat gets all hot and closes and i can’t speak. every time i try opening up i end up struggling then just accepting that i can’t. i’m well aware that it’s gonna be the thing to end the relationship.

any advice on opening up
