Sometimes I really just want tell people what's on my heart but I'm so afraid to open, because now a days your vulnerability can be used against you 😔
It can only be used against you if you fear what people think. I've found being open about most things actually makes it harder for people to use things against you. If everyone knows then there's no leverage to get at you with.
And the second step is always expect someone to be against what you say.
Vulnerability is often viewed in a negative light, but it's not. Feeling comfortable to be vulnerable can embolden you. Or it can lead to a greater intimacy (depending on the context). It can also be used negatively to be fearful and closed off providing yourself with a damaging false sense of security.
Most of the time we use it to imprison ourselves.
