Are you vulnerable with people?

I read recently that people are attracted to vulnerability, and feel more connected to people who show flaws, rather than perfection. I truly want to be more vulnerable, let down the armor, and see how life responds. But its scary, many seem they will leave someone for any little thing or flaw etc. 🙁

Yes, but there's a time and place for it. Usually, I'll want the person to share back, otherwise I feel foolish.
My m.o. is to suss out the suitability or trustworthiness of the person, then share something. If it's received well, and I get something shared with me, then we move on.

@uncalled4 Ty for a reflective respobse.

Not really. I'm super closed off and quiet in person. But I also think I overshare online which scares people off. In conclusion, I'm really good at keeping everyone away. 😆

Ha! I am real with people and they avoid the crap outta me. The sentiment is spot on, but people aren’t ready to get real.

I'm not but only because ppl never ask. Meanwhile I find that people open up to me easily and start talking about stuff I've never asked for.

Listening while asking the right questions is what I do. I don't mind it, people are interesting to me.
Certain people... It's not always easy for me to 100% let go and show my full vulnerability - not even with my man.

When I gain trust, I relax more.

Sometimes I trust too quickly, though. I can get to babbling.

no, but I'm working on it. Working on sharing more about myself/life with others
Not any more. I feel that vulnerability is a liability.

trying to be less vulnerable as years go by.

I'm only vulnerable with people that I trust

In my experience no-one is interested in vulnerability. Especially family members and spouses. Don’t talk about your feelings. Just get on with it. Bottle it up. If you talk about yourself, you’re a narcissist, that’s what I am told.

I’m so vulnerable that my walls can’t come down. It would take a very special man to scale this fortress. I doubt he exists.

There is s limit to that and please be careful who you share with.
