There's nothing worse than having something inside us and not being able to share it with someone. Part of what helps us reach those levels of fulfillment is sharing who we are with people.
2,000 years ago, when Rav Shimon, author of Kabbalah's holiest text, The Zohar, was hiding from the Romans in a cave (and channeling the wisdom that would become the basis of all Kabbalistic study), he received a message. A dove flew into his cave carrying a piece of paper with a question sent by his students from whom he was separated.
When he saw the question, he started to cry. It was painful for him to have the knowledge and yet have no one with whom to share it.
Today, share yourself. Let your friends and loved ones know how you are feeling and what is going on inside. We are programmed NOT to share but in truth, that's how we achieve happiness.
