Vulnerability is the core of difficult emotions from "summary" of Daring Greatly by Brene Brown
In our culture, vulnerability is often seen as weakness. We are taught to hide our vulnerabilities, to put on a brave face, and to never let others see our struggles. But in reality, vulnerability is not weakness at all - it is the birthplace of some of our most difficult emotions. When we allow ourselves to be vulnerable, we open ourselves up to the possibility of getting hurt. We risk rejection, criticism, and failure. And as a result, we may experience feelings of shame, fear, and uncertainty. When we are vulnerable, we are exposing our true selves to the world. We are letting down our guard and showing others who we really are. This can be a scary thing to do, especially in a society that values perfection and strength above all else. But it is only by embracing our vulnerabilities that we can truly connect with others and lead authentic lives. Difficult emotions like shame, fear, and uncertainty are often rooted in our feelings of vulnerability. When we feel exposed and open to judgment, it is natural to experience these intense emotions. But it is important to remember that vulnerability is not a sign of weakness - it is a sign of courage. It takes strength to be open and honest with ourselves and others, even when it is difficult. By acknowledging and embracing our vulnerabilities, we can learn to navigate our difficult emotions with grace and compassion. Instead of pushing them away or trying to hide them, we can face them head-on and work through them in a healthy way. This process of self-discovery and growth is essential for building resilience and cultivating meaningful connections with others. So the next time you find yourself struggling with difficult emotions, remember that vulnerability is at the core of these feelings. Embrace your vulnerabilities, and allow yourself to be open and honest with yourself and others. It is only by being vulnerable that we can truly dare greatly and live wholehearted lives.
