my boyfriend broke up with me because he feels like i don't trust him cause i don't know how to like express what i'm thinking i guess ...i don't really know how to put what i'm thinking into words cause i only trust him and my dad so i don't really know how to open up =/ i do trust him so much though and i told him that...what are some ways i can prove it to him? or maybe something i can give him thats reallyy important to me...but then again would it be weird? cause technically we're not together anymore =/

okay firsty your definately not the only one to feel like this. everyone does once and a while and some people have alot more trouble opening up then others.
you sat your boyfriend down and you explained that you do trust him but its hard for you,he should respect that and instead of dumping you he should have done his best to help you work through it and open up to him!,by just dumping you like that its made things alot harder,what you need to do first is figure out do you really want to get back with him?do you think he will be paitent when you find it difficult to open up? and understanding
if you really want to make it work then call him up maybe and ask him to talk things out explain how you do really really trust him and your prepared to try really hard if you two get back and if he agrees,to start working at this you need to just relax figure out whats stopping you from saying what your thinking,mostly its fear for some reason but you can over come it.
giving him something important to you is a great way of showing your trust and commitment the only way you can proove it to him is by doing your best to just talk to him and open up more and he needs to see it for it to work too.
if your stil having problems about it maybe talk to a counsellor or someone who can help you figure out why exactly you feel the need to bottle up etc.
I hope I helped in anyway :)
good luck
Much <3
