How can I learn to talk about my feelings?

I have the best friends ever. I love them all more than anything and I trust them with my life.

But I can't tell any of them anything. It's not that I don't trust them or that I don't want to because I do. I just can never get myself to open my mouth and say anything that I feel.

I can talk to them about music and video games but when it comes to anything serious I just shut down and play it off like it's no big deal even if it's something huge.

One of my best friends wrote me the nicest letter about how much I mean to her for Christmas and I broke down in tears for the better part of an hour. It was the best gift I've ever received and I want to tell her how much it meant to me but instead I just thanked her for the poster she got me and didn't mention the letter.

But I wanted to. I just couldn't bring myself to do it.

Anyone have any idea how I can be more open with people?
