Anyone scared of vulnerability? In my humble view, it’s why people seek out someone independent (a counsellor or therapist) to try it out on first. Or keep hold of it, assuming they are the only one trying to make it look like they have it all figured out. I’m not sure anyone really does. If you think of someone you admire, look up to, connect with or aspire to be, vulnerability will most likely be why.
Yes, it’s hard to admit when things aren’t great or we feel less than. When we do, and we’re shown empathy, understanding and support, that’s when we connect most deeply and meaningfully.
