What does making one's self more vulnerable even mean?

[JRHawk2003]

Someone explain that to me. I was told I need to make myself more vulnerable. More vulnerable to what I am not sure. Attack?

You arent risking anything. Probably not sharing your opinion in case someone calls you wrong

Well duh? Why would you leave yourself exposed. People always let you down.

Hrot is bad for you. Set it down for two weeks

Its bad for everyone really.

So you've figured out WHY you don't make yourself more vulnerable and that's usually the hard part.

Court mandated therapy must not be going well.

No courts. No therapy.

At 54 if I have not figured it out, I am likely not going to.

Probably start with some pegging

Probably start with some pegging

Like Deadpool?

No courts. No therapy.

I would suggest some therapy. Keeping things bottled up is never a good way to go.

Therapists are mostly crackpots who just want to hand out drugs.

That's a shrink. Therapist you just talk to. It's similar to a whore. Insurance is a pimp. Therapist is the trick and you're the John.

lol

Sure, that's one consideration.

Without having surrounding context on comment, can't say exactly what was implied, but a few thoughts...

Maybe think of it along the lines of openness.

You're guarding something or are generally very guarded around certain topics or emotional content. Opening up means being less guarded in your expression, communication or thought, which means being more vulnerable, ultimately.

But... I wouldn't associate that with weakness.

 

[BelemNole]

Probably a good start would be to not lash out when people ask you to be more open to them.

 

[LuteHawk]

To make one's self more vulnerable is a
code phrase.....it means to share your
true feelings with other people. It means
to share your own shortcomings in life
with others.

What the hell is a shame trigger?

 

[Hawkeyenuts66]

Or you could just not give a shit what others think, problem solved.

It is a nice way to say you are an unbearable asshole and no one likes to be around you.

I don't know why this surprises you.

It wasnt exactly in that context, but if it makes you feel better.

I just want you to feel better. So much angst in one being is never good.
