Sometimes when you open up to people, you let the bad in with the good

This is a profound insight. Opening up to others can create a sense of connection and intimacy, but it also carries the risk of vulnerability, including the possibility of disappointment or hurt. Sharing your thoughts and feelings can indeed bring in both positive aspects—like support and understanding and challenging ones, such as judgment or misunderstanding.

It's a the double edged sword effect

So when we let people into our lives, we often expose ourselves to their reactions, which can vary widely. While many will offer compassion and support, there are always some who may not respond in the way we hope. This duality can feel disheartening, especially if you're sensitive to feedback.

I definitely 100% agree. I dont get affected online too much. Its disappointing i guess. But for me its those who count in personal life that i would be hurt by. I choose online to share some stuff i could never tell 99% of people in my personal life. Things said in the past have hit and hurt. But not enough to outweigh some positives. Im normally my own worst enemy lol. I.ll post something deep. Cringe and delete.
