Advice please

I’ve posted about this before but deleted to give a bit more context.

I (28F) been out of the dating scene for about 4 years to work on myself regarding some childhood trauma and to learn how to communicate more better.

I decided to get back into dating about a year ago. I met this guy (33M) on Hinge we seem to hit it off and spoke on the app for 2 weeks before exchanging numbers.

We hung out and went on a few dates and got to know each other a bit more better over these last 4 months. He’s recently shared a few personal things such as some past trauma that he went through.

However, for me it takes a while to open up and share past trauma but I genuinely liked this guy and felt that he should know.

I shared a little bit of details ( like the emotional and physical abuse encounter as a child ) and he was really understanding or so I thought

Because a couple days later he texts saying he feels “ closed off, like he’s shutting down “ and that “ he gives so much of himself to people and gets nothing back in return “ and also added that “even though he really likes me, I attribute to the feeling “

Before I could ask any questions to better understand, he blocked me lol

Now I’m just wondering was that a bit too much to share so soon. Should I not share anything like that again? I am genuinely lost here.
