Vulnerable

Vulnerable

“She’s so vulnerable like China in my hands
She’s so vulnerable and I don’t understand
I could never hurt the one I love, she’s all I’ve got
But she’s so vulnerable, oh, so vulnerable.”

Used to be a big fan of Roxette and the song above was the one I liked best.

All people have an Achile’s heel, but most of them are so reluctant to share their vulnerability to others for the fear of others not using the information to hurt them.

Being vulnerable leads to higher intimacy between partners/friends, but also opens a little door to abuse.

Personally, I have a great confidence in human nature and usually I do not fear revealing my vulnerability. This eased the closeness to many people, yet I sense sometimes that my life is on public display.

Recently, my entire life was exposed on full display to the one I love and this lead to a lot of criticism, fears that I may be a bad person and have a desire to relive experiences that were just in my past as something that must be ticked once in a lifetime, etc.

I still think that exposing your qualities and flaws is the best way to get close to somebody and

I will probably continue to do this, even if sometimes it leads to complications.

Could she ever share the same vulnerability and reveal her life to build a total confidence and closeness between each other?
