THE POWER OF VULNERABILITY IN BUILDING BETTER AND MEANINGFUL RELATIONSHIPS
In today’s world, we are usually encouraged to put on a perfection mask and hide our vulnerabilities and flaws. But what if I told you that embracing your vulnerability is the key to building deeper and more meaningful relationships?
When we share our fears, weaknesses, and doubts with others, we create a space for connection and understanding. We show others that we are not afraid to be human and that we trust them enough to be vulnerable around them.
Let me tell you, showing vulnerability shows boldness and strength rather than weakness. It takes guts to be open and honest about our struggles, but in the end, it is worth it. When we are vulnerable, we build trust, empathy, and understanding with others. We create a sense of community and belonging where people can be safe and be themselves.
Two Key Steps to Embrace and Show our Vulnerability
Accept and embrace all our emotions. To expose our vulnerability to others and connect with them, we first have to expose it to ourselves because we cannot connect in an authentic, healthy, safe, and truly intimate way with others if we are not connected with ourselves. If we do not know, we do not accept, we ignore, we reject, and we disqualify our own emotions, which are what drive our thoughts, behaviors, and actions.
Be brave. Vulnerability requires courage, to begin with, to see ourselves with everything we feel, think, and believe about ourselves, with all our human imperfections, and to allow ourselves to feel and accept it without judging, rejecting, disqualifying, or invalidating it. If we do not trust that we are our safe place to expose our vulnerability, how can we expect to trust anyone else to be in that place or correctly choose who that place can be? If we reject that our vulnerability is part of who we are, we simply cannot build healthy relationships with genuine intimacy.
We also have to be brave to expose ourselves to others and let ourselves be seen with everything we are and feel, even if doing so does not go well for us, or if our expectations are not met. But be careful in dysfunctional, unhealthy, or safe relationships in which the other person has already shown us that he uses the vulnerability that we have shown him against us.
So, I will encourage us to embrace or practice vulnerability and share it with others. Let us create a world where we can be our real selves without any fear of judgment or rejection. When we do, we will build better relationships that are deeper, more meaningful, and more fulfilling.
