Are you feeling vulnerable? It’s good!
Do you feel vulnerable when it comes to dating? You may see vulnerability as a sign of weakness.
Did You Know That When It Comes To Dating Or Being In A Relationship, Vulnerability Can Be A Strength?
You show your partner who you are by being vulnerable. This allows you to be accepted and seen for the person you truly are. Being vulnerable can be scary and uncomfortable. However, it is essential to building intimacy and trust with the person or partner you are dating.
I’m feeling vulnerable. Why is this a good thing for me?
- It builds Trust: By being vulnerable with your date you show them you trust them and are willing to let down your guard. You are not trying to impress someone by being someone else. It’s tempting to try to appear as “cool girl”, or the person you think people want you to be. Let them see you as you are, including your quirky side. It will build trust between you and your date, because they’ll see that you’re confident about yourself.
- It promotes intimacy: Being emotionally and physically close with someone is intimate. To do this, you must be honest with yourself. You have to tune in to what you feel. Instead of burying your feelings, tell your partner how you really feel. Sharing your emotions creates a stronger connection with the other person and allows them to see your heart.
- It encourages communication: Being open and honest is required to be vulnerable. It will help you have meaningful conversations with your date and gain a better understanding of them. We often hold back on communicating our emotions and expect our date will recognize if our mood or behavior changes. We assume they will know how to make us happy. Share your feelings, thoughts, and opinions with your partner or date. This will allow them to understand what you value.
It is worth seeing and hearing you.
Take the Risk
Allow yourself to be vulnerable and courageous!
It’s okay that vulnerability may not be something that comes naturally to you. To be our authentic self and to express how we feel takes practice. To learn to trust yourself, and the person with whom you are in a relationship, you must set healthy boundaries and acknowledge what you need to be emotionally safe.
