Vulnerability is, ‘Here I am — my frayed edges, my secrets, my fears, my affection. Be careful — they’re precious.’
I almost can think of what I am worrying when we talk about being vulnerable:
- Criticism
- Shame
- Rejection
- Failure
- Uncertainty
I am afraid to try or open up because it will allow others to have an opportunity to criticize me, to laugh at me, and to reject me.
