Vulnerability

Being around people makes me feel vulnerable. So I end up never leaving the house :/

 

i feel vulnerable when i'm walking through the bad side of town and those rowdy teenage boys are riding their bikes

i also don't like people getting too close to me

 

I feel vulnerable when I make eye contact with someone I've just met. After I get to know them it's fine though.

I also feel vulnerable when I'm out and about by myself in not such a good area, for obvious reasons.

 

I feel vulnerable when I open up to people. If I ever start to connect emotionally with someone, I get really scared.

 

My insecurities being shown almost all the time make me vulnerable. When that happens, I almost always tense up and just try to seclude myself.

 

Gangs of Teenaged Straight Boys, make me feel Vulnerable, especially if I walk past with my Rainbow Bracelets on :eek:

 

I feel vulnerable when I start crushing on someone, because I know how badly you can get burned.

 

I'm weird.

I'll be pretty timid and shy around people I haven't met yet. Although I think that might be part of being an introvert. Hell, that even happened here on EC. I didn't post that often when I first joined.

But when I start hanging around more and more often, that's because my trust starts to grow. And fairly soon, I'm pretty comfortable.

I'm too clueless and curious to get nervous after befriending someone.

 

I feel vulnerable when I seeing people hug or kiss each other, especially couples and father to children. Mainly because I've never had a loving father or a loving friend.

I deal with it by watching Les Miserables, because for some reason the whole musical makes me happier and more hopeful.

 

A lot of my vulnerability comes from trying to open up to people, showing my true and my dysphoria. Emotions are probably the biggest part since from a young age I had to learn how to bottle up my feelings and I viewed crying as a sign of weakness; and I refuse to let people see that side of me.

 

Very tall people. They make me feel tiny! Any teenage male older than me on the street. I just feel like they'll judge me or something! I don't know, I'm strange.

 

My emotions. Hate crying in front of people or admitting I need help.

 

I hate talking about my childhood or family life. I am usually always the strong wise person that everyone comes to support or advice, which I am completely comfortable with, but I can't stand showing any level of vulnerability.( Either on the internet or publicly)

 

Same. It makes you feel scared about what people could think of you when you show them every side of you.

 

Walking alone late at night. There's not much to do about it, but I keep telling myself that the risk of me getting randomly jumped is small.

 

Really the truth i dont want to hear, besides that i am impenetrable, unless you know me

 

Yeah I feel ya!

When I walk pass a group of people and they're all taller than me, I feel so "weak".

I just hope I don't develop "Shortman Syndrome"

 

Same, I'm very timid too, especially in crowded places.

 

Vulnerability is a strength let it in and it will make you emotionally fulfilled
I recommend reading any given book by the author brene brown
