Do you WANT to he more vulnerable or authentic with others?

My vulnerabilities don't work anything like normal, and there's basically no way to protect from them effectively regardless of what I do. The shit that people are normally worried about like being abandoned or used honestly doesn't bother me all that much, oddly.

Nothing is ever 100%....there will always be those who will try to take advantage of you at any opportunity, but there will also always be those who will be there for you when you need and will come to trust you to be there for them.
Some people will fool you, and you will be hurt when you find out that they don’t have the best intentions....and some people will restore your faith in humanity just when you started to think that the whole world is messed up.
Trust has to be earned....but when you do find people that you can trust, it’s a wonderful thing. You might get hurt a few times along the way to finding them, but the journey can still be worth the effort. ❤️

Not at all. I'm way too vulnerable already. Like someone said to stop bothering them. I didn't even say anything except wishing them well. So I just blocked them without answering. It's ruined my mood for two days. So no I don't want even more vulnerability at all.

I do. Absolutely. I think when we live behind layers, hide behind layers, we rarely feel loved or encouraged, because we think - if you really knew me...

It's how I live. I admit when i'm wrong, always. I'm 100% honest. Where it's helpful and appropriate I reveal my personal struggles and weaknesses. That kind of vulnerability isn't because I need to share, it's because if you're real, you can help other people. In my case the capacity to be more vulnerable and authentic grew from my spirituality, but that isn't a prerequisite at all. In my case it gave me perspective, inner strength, courage, desire to meaningfully touch others' lives.

Want and can are two different things. Especially among many that simply refuse to want to understand.

It's a two way street. Yet this society has prejudgment as it's goal. You open up unfortunately at your own peril in this society. 😔

I’ve learned to no longer fully open myself up. I’m authentic with what people get, but probably not as vulnerable as some might like.

Nope. Never again will I ever be vulnerable with anyone but I will be authentic.

Present a version of yourself and see how they react, decide.

neither. i would not want to be vulnerable at all

Over here? 🤔

I definitely do not want to be more vulnerable with strangers on the internet.
In a friendship you do have to have a little bit of vulnerability to you and an intimate relationship more ,but there's nothing wrong with boundaries and people who do not want you to have any or people to best avoid.

I'm no longer available to open myself ever again to anyone online .... that's been destroyed ..I'm no longer making myself vunerable to anyone on here ever ....

Nope, just happy to get along.

I'm not sure the word is "want". I may choose to self-disclose should I meet someone who I deem trustworthy on that level.
