I've realized in life how important it is to be vulnerable in life. It let's you be human and to show the most sensitive sides of yourself. In my experiences of being vulnerable, I honestly felt like I was exposing myself to possible judgment from other people that there was something bad about me and I felt like I might lose friends. Well, its okay because making yourself vulnerable allows you to be your genuine self and to connect to your real self. It makes you respect yourself and love yourself for who you are. It allows you to trade making a fool out of yourself for actually feeling like an amazing person the way you are. It doesn't matter what people think. It's okay if you are sensitive to it, trust me I worry sometimes about it. But it helps people connect more as a human being with feelings if they understand that other people feel the same pain that they do, and have the same human "flaws" as them. It helps relieve so much of the burden. Making yourself look less perfect than you really are allows you to get along with other people on a more heart felt level, and to have a more loving close real connection with other people. It helps relieve you because you relate to other people and can really connect with them on a deeper level.
Remember, its okay to show your dark side. There's no reason to try to hide it. I have felt upset because it has seemed like no one else expresses themselves as much as me. But I realize maybe they are too scared to expose their insecurities to other people. It's amazing to be able to show your "flaws" and break the bounds of society. Break the bounds of society!!! It makes you so much of a superhero that you don't care what other people think. It makes you original. And strong. You honor yourself.
