It’s good to be vulnerable


If you allow yourself show your vulnerable side to others, that means you must trust the good nature born in most people in this world. You believe most people are kind, therefore you will be in good hands even if you let them see you are vulnerable.

Whereas if you are afraid to show your vulnerabilities, you must be coming from the opposite point of view, which is that people in general will be untrustworthy. They might act upon your vulnerabilities negatively or opportunistically. That way, you believe most people in this world are bad or unpredictable.

Which way we choose to believe is up to us, up to our own willingness to be trusting and open to the world, the people around us.

Often people who act vulnerably worry that they might appear fragile. But the truth is that they don’t realize that how cute and endearing they look in the eyes of others.

Being vulnerable or rather possessing the courage to not to be afraid of being vulnerable is not a weakness. It’s a signal that invites interaction that may have escaped if one of us is not vulnerable at first.

It’s good to be vulnerable.
