What I think one reason could be is, ecause they'd prefer to have everyone happy?

I feel like there's always been at least one person in my friend group that I'd open up to (not including my ex when we were dating at the time) that would keep it all a secret.
Because part of me feels like if I truly opened up to everyone in the group both women and men, then the energy and of the room would go down.
Not saying I'm a party goer or an extrovert, but why bring down everyone just for because of how I feel.
When hanging with friends, to me, it should be a good time and have others feel happy. I'd listen to their problems too.
But why is it hard for me to share?
Like I will open up if someone opens up first, to show empathy and help me understand them. But, I don't want to be the one to share first if that makes sense.
