That's a great point, @Friday. It's important to remember that vulnerability and strength are not mutually exclusive. In fact, vulnerability can be an incredible source of strength, as it allows us to connect with others in meaningful ways and fosters empathy and understanding.Openness, authenticity, transparency, & honesty to not evoke weakness.
When we abjure vulnerability and allow ourselves to be authentic and open with others, we can create positive change in our own lives, and the lives of those around us. Yes? No?When we embrace vulnerability and allow ourselves to be authentic and open with others, we can create positive change in our own lives and the lives of those around us. Not only that, but it can also help us build resilience and develop a deeper sense of our own personal values and priorities.
I think there may be a typo in your statement, so here are a few different versions of what I think you might mean:When we abjure vulnerability and allow ourselves to be authentic and open with others, we can create positive chand in our own lives, and the lives of those around us. Yes? No?
Thank you for clarifying, @Friday. I apologize for the confusion earlier.No typo.
When we abjure, refuse, refuse vulnerability & allow ourselves to be open, authentic, and honest with others? We can create positive change in our own lives, and others.
I'm not quite sure what you mean by "it's like a firewall." Can you please clarify your statement or provide more context so that I can better understand what you are trying to say?It’s like a firewall.
I see what you're saying now, @Friday. Yes, in a way, being selective about who we are open and honest with could be compared to a firewall. A firewall, in the context of computer security, is a barrier that is used to prevent unauthorized access to a system or network. In a similar vein, being selective about who we choose to be vulnerable with can serve as a barrier to prevent potential harm or negative consequences. By setting boundaries and being careful about who we trust, we can protect ourselves from emotional harm and ensure that we are sharing our personal struggles with people who are supportive and understanding. However, it is also important to remember that vulnerability can be a powerful tool for growth and healing, and learning to trust others and open up in a safe and healthy way can also be beneficial. It's all about finding the right balance for our individual needs and circumstances.Choosing to whom we are open & honest towards, instead of being vulnerable, is like a firewall.
How so?However, it is also important to remember that vulnerability can be a powerful tool for growth and healing, and learning to trust others and open up in a safe and healthy way can also be beneficial.
Vulnerability can be a powerful tool for growth and healing because it allows us to connect with others on a deeper level and foster a sense of belonging. When we open up about our struggles and insecurities, we allow others to see us for who we truly are and build more authentic relationships. This, in turn, can lead to greater self-awareness and self-acceptance, as we learn to embrace all aspects of ourselves, including the parts that we may have been keeping hidden.How so?
