<human>: Can you give me a shortened version of the text?

My bf and I have been dating for a year now and he told me in the beginning he had trust issues. I do as well due to many past relationships, as does he. I also know I tend to be more "emotionally needy" and need deep connection in relationships more than most. 

I tend to be very verbal, open, and open to anything new with him. He is verbal, open, and open to new things from time to time...

He warned it would take a while for him to fully open up with me, and I accepted that, but there are small things that tend to irk me and I'm unsure of what to do or if I'm just overreacting. 

Examples: Never wants to drink around me but will drink anytime he is with his own friends. Won't open up about anything emotional unless asked about it. If his friends are over while I am also, he tends to act differently towards me and even more distant than normal. If I attempt to talk to him about my insecurities (personal low self confidence/esteem) he tends to downplay the seriousness of what I say. Lack of outward emotion in person and over phone or texts makes it seem like he cares little, even though I know he does care a lot (or at least I'm pretty sure he does...). Claims he's more open when he drinks and "maybe one day" I'll see that side of him. 

Is this how all guys are or is it normal? Or am I just overreacting and being too emotionally needy.
<bot>: Bf won't open up after a year even though he cares a lot, Idk what to do to make him see I need more connection and openness.
