How to get more comfortable with your vulnerability?

[Justneedtokno]

Going forward, I would like to be more open and accepting with boundaries, but I don’t think I can do that if I’m not being honest with myself in particular how to be more comfortable being vulnerable, especially with the people that are close to me

Part of it is learning to accept a lot of things, including others’ opinions of you, as things outside of your control. Another part is the knowledge that not only are you not allowing yourself to get closer to those you care about but you’re not allowing them the privilege to help you when you need it. The point of love is to support, to be there when you’re needed, and if you love someone and deny them that opportunity, it can be quite hurtful.

That's a bad idea. I trusted the wrong people and each time it blew up in my face.

I mean with family and friends shouldn’t it be easier?

That's worse in my experience. Actual friends are fine but I've been burned by friends before. Family, every single time.
