Hey,
guys.
You can move toward others, get socially involved, and have
relationships, but still be isolated. Your isolation may stem from
your inability to be open, your inability to show your real self to
others. Learn to be vulnerable. The word vulnerable literally
means “open to criticism or attack.” You need to be so open with your
needs that you are open to attack.
Realization of need is the beginning of growth. Humility and
vulnerability are absolutely necessary for bonding to take place at a
deep level, but being vulnerable at a social level may be too
threatening at first.
Maybe you need to start with a pastor, counselor, or support group.
But vulnerability is a skill that opens up the heart for love to take
root. When you can admit that you need support and help, and can
reveal your hurt and isolation, a dynamic is set into motion that can
literally transform your personality and life.
Developing the courage to be vulnerable is difficult and requires
support. Identify who's safe and get that support.
Until tomorrow ...
Cheers,
Henry
