Do you allow yourself to be vulnerable?

Question

Is this a good thing???Why?

Answer 1

Yes. I don't pretend I'm strong all the time. Be yourself. You'll learn how to become strong by being vulnerable for once.

Answer 2

How else to experience "life" in its fullest forms?
The moment we are born, we are 'vulnerable' to death, the vulnerability being more with just the timing, and the certainty a gross reality! Now, having choicelessly become vulnerable to the biggest stake, why now compromise on other things?
If we look closely, something worthwhile was always experienced only with that vulnerability thrown open!
Thanks for that 'vulnerable' question! It afforded the declaration(allowing self to be 'more' vulnerable)!

Answer 3

Ummm -- could be... By allowing, in any case, you are meaning to make the choice and therefore as willing to be responsible for choosing, which is to say that you are wisest to be tactical and sober, while vulnerable, until sure.

The fiercest and most powerful of animal can choose vulnerability if it entrusts its vulnerability to you. Break that trust, that implicit promise, and you result in certain harm; whereas as a human being you are not allowed to militate against another as the great animal would do -- you cannot genuflect swift retribution. For you will have presumed a measure of accountability is in order at the outset. You will have to account to or for another as with any act done in life, or if not to or for another, then to or for your Self, which is a most severe of arbiter.

It comes down to an adage of olde from out of the Middle East -- "Trust in God AND tie your camel."

Answer 4

Because if I hid from Satan all the time I would be dead in my bed. In other words, if I let every negative fiction rule my Judgment I would certainly be dead. The difference between probability and possibility is the mathematics, but there are conditions that are regular systemic events. There is no allowance for vulnerability because there is no power to disallow the dangers that are necessitated in making reality possible. So, risk taking is unavoidable, superstitious or not.

The Will is positive, the Judgment is negative.

Answer 5

I do allow myself to be vulnerable. I think it's a good thing- Even when I get hurt- which comes with opening yourself up to others- it's still worth all the wonderful experiences and people I would miss. :)

Answer 6

I think that it is a good thing to have that comfort level with someone that is so deep you allow your vulnerability to show. Its rare that I allow myself to feel vulnerable, though. I can think of two people that I can express my vulnerabilities to, but I try, for the most part, to remain as strong as I can. I don't like feeling vulnerable.

Answer 7

Yes!

I wear my heart on my sleeve. I own my emotions. Hell, I even write songs about them and sing them for an audience! I wouldn't have it any other way. I think it is a good thing. Having the courage to be vulnerable, to let yourself feel and express those feelings, is a sign of strength. Many people are afraid to show their feelings. They stifle them to the point that they almost don't feel anymore. They believe that this is strength. But I don't think you're really alive if you don't feel. And it's fear and cowardice not strength that makes people hide and close off their hearts.

Of course, you have to be prepared when you dare to show your feelings and be honest about them, you open yourself up to attack from others. People who spend their lives hiding behind a mask can be very uncomfortable around someone who is willing to exhibit emotion. Admitting your vulnerability can be dangerous among predators who want to tear you to shreds. The key is to realize that the so-called "tough" and "strong" people who seem to feel nothing are really the weak ones. So afraid of being hurt and appearing weak that they'd rather feel nothing.

The greatest artists, musicians, writers and thinkers of all time have been the ones who allowed themselves to be vulnerable. Allowed themselves to feel, to think, to see on a deeper level than most people.

Answer 8

I tend to be vulnerable in many ways, even though I try not to be. I guess because I feel it can be a weakness & I can be taken advantage of more easily. Sometimes I also think that someone who is more emotionally made up can be more vulnerable in many situations. Is being vulnerable considered being fragile? I don't know. Maybe that is another question to ask....

Answer 9

When I was younger, absolutely not. I was extremely self
protective on every level..to the point that I needed to be
in control of every situation. There was a reason for
this as I always had wanted 100% personal freedom for
life. This kept me on the path I'd chosen until I was sure
that if I placed my trust in someone, it was the right
decision. There was nothing situational in my past to warrant
this scepticism, but I could always see the overview and
was aware of everything that could go wrong. When
I was ready, the vulnerability flowed, and the secrets
of my heart and soul revealed to trusted sources. It
took a long time, but I did the right thing for me at the
right time of my life.

Answer 10

Maybe in the Past I might have done that, but not anymore, I have become more cautious, and quick to notice when something is not right around me and that makes me shy away from what I perceive might harm me. I believe that to be vulnerable is not a good thing because it might give someone, think you are easy to overpower, or be taken advantage off.
