Have you always secretly believed that being emotionally vulnerable is a terrible idea?\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

For those of us who experienced childhood trauma<\/a> (and sadly, that’s many of us), avoiding emotional vulnerability might have been a useful survival tactic.<\/strong> We just couldn’t bear to feel any more emotional pain, so we learned to dodge it.<\/p>\n

But are those same ideas of vulnerability still serving you as an adult?<\/strong> Or is it time to re-assess your ideas around being emotionally vulnerable?<\/p>\n

5 Myths about feeling vulnerable\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

See if you are telling yourself the following myths about feeling vulnerable.<\/p>\n

1. I am vulnerable, I share about my life on Facebook<\/a>.<\/span><\/h3>\n

Sharing and vulnerability are two separate things.<\/strong> Sharing means offering facts and opinions.<\/p>\n

Vulnerability means being authentic<\/a> about how you are feeling, and truthful about who you are and how things you have experienced have affected you.<\/p>\n

Oversharing can be a way to avoid being vulnerable. Giving exact details about a breakup<\/a> and turning it into a comedy, for example, can be a way to avoid showing how hurt you really are.<\/em><\/p>\n

2. Being vulnerable makes you miserable and I want to feel happy.\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n
\"what

By: spaztacular<\/a><\/p><\/div>\n

Letting ourselves feel happy is often a way to feel more vulnerable, not less.<\/strong>\u00a0For example, if we dare to love someone<\/a>, we are vulnerable to the pain of being rejected<\/a>.<\/p>\n

So happy or sad,<\/strong> vulnerability happens. Avoiding it in an effort to feel good doesn’t work.<\/p>\n

What is true here is that vulnerability without discernment<\/em> can indeed lead to feeling miserable.\u00a0Sharing your deepest self with someone you know is emotionally abusive<\/a><\/span> or emotionally unavailable can veer into self-abuse over healthy vulnerability, or can be a sign of borderline personality disorder<\/a>.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

3. I don’t have time for all that emotional stuff.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n

There are all sorts of excuses we can come up with to avoid being emotionally vulnerable<\/strong> – we don’t have the time<\/a>, it’s not safe, it’s for other people, but not us. But these excuses are a way of trying to avoid feelings we are scared of or ashamed about.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Researcher and author Bren\u00e9 Brown, perhaps the most famous commentator today on vulnerability, writes that<\/strong> \u201cwe associate vulnerability with emotions we want to avoid such as fear<\/a>, shame<\/a>, and uncertainty. Yet we too often lose sight of the fact that vulnerability is also the birthplace of joy, belonging, creativity, authenticity<\/a>, and love<\/a>.\u201d And aren’t those worth making time for?<\/p>\n

4. I need to be strong to survive, and vulnerability is weakness.<\/span><\/h3>\n

Being emotionally vulnerable undoubtedly has its risks.\u00a0 It means letting someone see who we really are,\u00a0<\/strong>\u00a0knowing that this means we risk being rejected<\/a> or feeling abandoned<\/a>.<\/p>\n

It often means risking <\/strong>triggering old memories<\/a> and\u00a0unprocessed childhood pain<\/a>, too.<\/p>\n

\"what<\/a>

By: r. nial bradshaw<\/a><\/p><\/div>\n

But on the other hand, refusing to be vulnerable can be more of a tired pattern <\/strong>of pushing others away<\/a> and hiding emotionally over real personal strength. The payoff can be\u00a0loneliness<\/a>, repressed anger<\/a>, shame, inner rage<\/a>, others not trusting us, and, eventually, depression.<\/a><\/p>\n

Summary — while avoiding being vulnerable might see us ‘survive’, it definitely does not see us thrive.<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

5. I am just not made to feel vulnerable.<\/span><\/h3>\n

If you’ve shut off your emotions for long enough, you can convince yourself you are flawed<\/a> and ‘made of stone’.<\/p>\n

But we all feel vulnerable<\/strong>, unless we have narcissistic personality disorder<\/a> or are a sociopath<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Feeling vulnerable would be part of the brain’s survival design, triggering the\u00a0fight of flight response<\/a> which once protected us from dangers like wild animals. And research shows that some of us are genetically more inclined to feel vulnerable<\/a> than others, even.<\/p>\n

So you are wired to feel vulnerable.<\/strong> Even if you repress it publicly and only let yourself feel it alone, late at night.<\/p>\n

So what does feeling vulnerable mean then, really?<\/h2>\n

It means you are human.\u00a0And it means you are being asked to make a decision<\/a>.<\/strong> Is this really a time to protect yourself? Are you engaging with the wrong person to risk judgement from? Then steer clear.<\/p>\n

Or, is this a time to be brave, and to step towards personal growth?\u00a0<\/strong>To risk rejection and perhaps by doing so gaining a stronger sense of self<\/a>, a feeling of being connected to others,<\/a> and a sense of freedom to create the life that feels right for you, personally.<\/p>\n
