Let's Talk About: Vulnerability

article image placeholderheart balloon and push pins
Vulnerability is an interesting thing because everybody has a different sort of relationship with it. My relationship with vulnerability is an inactive one because I try to be in situations where I don't have to be vulnerable. I really don't like being vulnerable. It makes me feel uncomfortable. It rubbed me the wrong way. I really don't enjoy having to tell somebody my deepest emotions

Do you like being vulnerable? Do you avoid it? Why or not? Share here! #emotions #feelings #selfimprovment #selfawareness

Uncertainty of information makes me feel insecure.

So the emotional side, I think I'm a lot better at in some cases than maybe perhaps the information, the intelligence I think I have about a topic. So they'll or in ways how vulnerability can affect me, I guess

I completely relate to what you just said to Juan. I also get really uncomfortable whenever I'm confronted by the possibility that I may not be right. I love being right, and I hate being wrong. And whenever someone suggests any information or an experience or anything, really, that proves that whatever I said is incorrect, it just makes me really uncomfortable and embarrassed

It’s like it was yesterday. Lol

Hey, Liora. Yeah, for me, it really boils down to like, stuff that I am extremely passionate about, and I feel like I'm well versed in and I've spent a lot of time with. So if this is something where tell you one story. And this is always a funny story because it shows how silly I can be. This is with my kids'mom. Many years ago, her and I had a debate about descending our birds being descendants of dinosaurs

And now I'm finally getting used to only sharing when I am comfortable sharing, and that it's okay if I don't want to share everything, which is a relatively new concept for me, actually, but I'm really happy that I'm finally learning it because it was very emotionally taxing to constantly push myself to share things that I wasn't comfortable with all in order to feel some kind of connection with someone else, but it's just not necessary all the time

Whenever I first met someone for the first time, I'd be like, okay, I'll tell them my story, and if they still look at me the same way after I tell them my story, my past, then they're worth keeping around in my life. And I did this for a while, and I don't know if it's necessarily the best way of determining who was worthy of being my friend or not, but I don't do that anymore
