Not many people need to know what I feel, is it important to not show your feelings and remain self-dependent in order to not feel vulnerable?

We all suffer from vulnerability at times in our lives, some of us on a daily basis and some of us not so often. It’s important not to see vulnerability as an all-consuming emotion but to embrace it and accept it as part of our lives and as part of our many emotions. Often when I feel vulnerable it helps to discuss this with a close friend or family member. If that isn’t possible I write down how I am feeling and this helps. Also when I am feeling like this it is important to reach out and understand that I am not alone, showing emotion and discussing feelings is empowering and not at all something to feel ashamed about.

Bottling up your emotions is not always good, find one or two trusted people in your life who you know would not betray you. only opening up to the wrong people makes you vulnerable.

For everyone, the answer to that will vary. If you feel vulnerable when expressing emotions, it might have to do with being deeply hurt or damaged. It’s a protection shield against anything that could harm you. It is not healthy though. Some people enjoy being open to a lot of people and that is okay, just as okay as it is when others would rather keep most things to themselves and only share their feelings with a few people or less. But we all need to confide in each other at last. So no, you don’t have to be visibly emotional at all given times. No, it’s not wrong if you are. Yes, being independent and self-dependent is important, yet not more important than allowing yourself to be taken care of by people you are loved by.
Have a helpful insight? Don’t keep it to yourself.
Sharing helps others and its therapeutic for you.
