As a guy, I never really felt comfortable saying those things to anyone irl.

When people tell men "you can tell me anything" what they mean is "I don't want to feel like you're keeping things from me."

It 100% does NOT mean "you will face no negative consequences for telling me."

Men keep some things to themselves because sharing feelings has resulted in getting burned too many times.

These things aren't necessarily bad. They might just shatter exciting illusions the other person prefered over the ordinary truth.
