I’ve been through one big toxic relationship in my life. Which led me to have great amounts of anxiety when feelings start to get involved with women. It’s as if though, past trauma is manifesting its self into current considerations of romantic partners. I have trust issues and the thing about vulnerability is that it takes courage to be able to invest time and effort into someone knowing there is always a possibility to get hurt. I’ve been hurt many times and I can say I’m a pretty sensitive guy. I feel more than I would say than the average person does. Overall, just a lower threshold to be able to handle complex emotions, conflicts or in other words resilience. There is this ethical dilemma between wanting to lend or give our precious hearts to people when knowing it’s such a fragile piece and trying to protect it the best we can. When it’s been broken multiple times, it’s hard to not collectively generalize people as not trustworthy. In my opinion , it’s hard to be a human. It’s almost if as we aren’t allowed to be human. I wish school did emphasize social skills/interpersonal relationships and how to manage them as we get older. Since , through my observation , high school mentalities still exist in the adult world. Hence, impacting the room or space to be vulnerable. submitted by /u/KnowledgeSimple2034
