Vulnerability is about showing up and being seen. It's tough to do that when we're terrified about what people might see or think.

I think one's relationship with one's vulnerability is a very delicate and precious relationship. Most people try to hide, disguise that vulnerability, and in doing that, you, I think, diminish a great source of power.

Vulnerability is the birthplace of connection and the path to the feeling of worthiness. If it doesn't feel vulnerable, the sharing is probably not constructive.

I understand now that the vulnerability I've always felt is the greatest strength a person can have. You can't experience life without feeling life. What I've learned is that being vulnerable to somebody you love is not a weakness, it's a strength.

The difficult thing is that vulnerability is the first thing I look for in you and the last thing I'm willing to show you. In you, it's courage and daring. In me, it's weakness.

In the beginning, people think vulnerability will make you weak, but it does the opposite. It shows you're strong enough to care.

I feared vulnerability more than my actual emotional pain itself!

There is a difference between vulnerability and telling people everything about yourself. Vulnerability is a feeling. Telling everyone about yourself is just facts and details.

It is hard for me to be vulnerable, because I never learned how to do that. I was never vulnerable in a safe way.

I think I'm actually more vulnerable than people imagine.
