<human>: Have recently decided to "test the waters" with the nicest, hilarious, most kind man ever. He is graduating soon so we haven't committed to a true relationship as we both want to see where things lead... however I am hoping for the best. 

We have been seeing each other for over a month and have recently decided to be exclusive with one another. He makes me incredibly happy when I am around him. I want to share who I am with him and get to know every bit of him while I have the opportunity. However, I feel that when we are together he is sharing so much and I am learning so much but I can't reciprocate. 

For example, he has shared with me a mental illness, family issues, his worries, hopes and dreams. I listen but I just can't seem to share the same caliber of things. I want to tell him about my family but it's dark and depressing. I want to tell him about my depression but I am ashamed. I want to tell him what affects me day-in-and-day-out but I don't want to scare him off. I'm worried I am coming off as very limited and closed-off instead of the multi-faceted person that I am. 

How have you dealt with telling someone you like a lot hard issues about yourself? Any advice for someone who is having trouble opening up with others?

Can you give me the gist of the text in a nutshell?
<bot>: Met a wonderful lad. Want to share my world with him. Ashamed of my past/present and cannot open up yet he as been able to open up so much to me. Need advice on overcoming these issues.
