Hi Erik,
I'm not a guy, but I'm an introverted girl who used to find it painfully difficult to speak about my emotions. I found it a million times easier to write it down. I would write pages and pages, words would fall onto the page without me even trying to write them. I passed the pages on to my partner, and although it was difficult for me to know they were reading them, it was easier than having to speak the words to them. Once they knew how I felt it was much easier to discuss. Now I find it comfortable enough to just speak to them about most things.
You could try writing, talking on the phone, instant messages, texts, whatever medium you're least uncomfortable with. Once you get used to expressing yourself it gets easier.
