Why do we shy away from Vulnerability? Why not full Self Disclosure?
- We fear that people will take advantage of the information that we give them
- We fear that the sharing will make them feel uncomfortable or perceive us as needy, unprofessional, or overly emotional
- Most of all, we fail to self-disclose because
- We are conditioned to reveal information only on a need to know basis. We convey only basic information so most of our verbal interactions with others take place on a transactional level

There is power in vulnerability
Our willingness to risk being vulnerable can deepen the quality of our relationships and make us more likely to connect with others
- It is very powerful in establishing instant intimacy.
Don’t miss out on opportunities to communicate on a connective emotional level
By paying close attention on the way we communicate, we can actively shift the degree in which we open up to others, and that we are open to communicating more fully with them.
