I think there is a time and place to open up to people, and you shouldn't open up to everybody. I say this because I know a few people who will tell everyone all their deepest darkest secrets (I guess they aren't really secrets) and it definitely comes from a place of insecurity. I personally feel uncomfortable around people that just start telling me stuff that I don't know if I want to hear, and then expect me to reciprocate with equal experiences or feelings.

With that in mind, I find a lot of times when I'm one on one with someone, the conversation will natural get a little deeper and that's a perfectly fine way to open up to somebody. I'd say don't force it, it will happen on its own if you are getting to know someone.
