Not new .. but maybe Old
Just dropping a note.
Opening up is not easy.
Reflecting off other people is much easier, some of you might have seen some of my responses.
But to reflect on ones own is complicated.

I feel the same way. It can be hard to be vulnerable. I do find the anonymity aspect of this site can make it a bit easier though!💜
@Barltik2065 I hear you. Sometimes when I focus on me I just get a big blank.
What is your favorite hobby or thing that you do that gives you joy?

Riding my motorcycle on a back road when it is hot.
Have my riding gear on with the vents all open.
Have a little slo-fi\ChillStep in the helmet going.
Can feel the wind strolling through my life.
@Barltik2065 cool

Yes yes and yes again.
it is so much easier. so much safer to be the one reflecting.
Woof man, i get it. After years of healing I still struggle with that so much. to just let myself open up like that. the fear of getting hurt, of being judged, of being .... so much fear.
I get you. I bless all of us to heal. to feel safer in this world. to be able to let ourselves open up just a little bit more. and most of all to receive the response we want and need.
Absolutely! 💕
Being vulnerable takes courage as Brene Browns Ted Talk on vulnerability discovered. When it is your vulnerability the reflection is a personal one which needs the mind space to do the work of reflection.

Thank you for taking the time and sharing!
"... needs the mind space to do the work of reflection."
Please elaborate on that
Being ready and comfortable to be vulnerable with those you trust.
It takes courage and very brave to do so.
It is the stages of change sort of thinking about dealing with, planning to deal with it, planning complete to deal with it and finally am ready mentally to dig in and be vulnerable.
My vulnerability rattles around inside me before I lean in be uncomfortable to share .
