When was the last time you were really vulnerable with someone?

Whether family member, a friend, or a stranger even?

I was about to cry in therapy recently, but I felt so self conscious, thinking how they might feel, over myself. I've been doing that ALL my life and I think at some point I need to be vulnerable for my own spirit and heart and mind.

My second ex. First two years of our 5 yr relationship. When it felt genuine and for a short time I felt worthy and respected enough to overlook the growing number of red flags in my ex's narcissistic feminist behaviour.

Since then my walls have been firmly closed and I remain romantically and emotionally inside them for my own self protection.
