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

I truly do. But you feel many will take advantage when you reveal flaws of yourself. BUT, many will NOT do that, and will maybe even want to open themselves more too. And they'll become closer with you if you are authentic and vulnerable. Its still hard, but its something I really wish to fulfill.

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.
