a lot of people say "if I am vulnerable, people will use it against me and I won't know who to trust."

to that I say: nah. you need to be vulnerable and open so you can know who you can be vulnerable with.
you need to be vulnerable so you can know who to trust. being vulnerable and open allows you to be yourself. If authentically at your core, you are someone who is vulnerable, emotional, someone who likes to be open, and likes deep connections then you have to promote those
deep connections by being you. if that is who you are then keep being open. keep being vulnerable. how people respond to your vulnerability has nothing to do with you but it shows you a great deal about them. it tells you who they are in your life. everyone has a role in ur life.
not everyone can handle the vulnerability and that has nothing to do with you. that's a projection of their own discomfort with their own vulnerability. it has everything to do with them. and when you remain vulnerable, you figure out who is comfortable with it and who isnt.
that means you can leave behind or not get too close to those who shame your openness. you can figure out who is uncomfortable and act accordingly. that doesn't mean shutting down your openness though. those people who shame vulnerability or
who don't open up back to you, you know those people aren't for you. so by being vulnerable, you know what you do? you figure out who is for you and who isnt and that's okay. and guess what? you're going to start having times when you're extremely vulnerable
and the people are going to be vulnerable with you. and then you're going to realize that person is your person. you'll realize you're building deeper connections and relations. and you're building these relations because you're open and authentically yourself.
the only way to figure out who is fuckin with you, rocking with you is to when you're open, emotional, trusting, and authentically you. it's important to be yourself. its important to stay open. be vulnerable. watch how people react to your vulnerability and act accordingly.
those on your vibration and those who are seeking the same connection you are will find you. you have to get comfortable with your own vulnerability in order to project vulnerability and authenticity out into the world. that is who you will allow into your life.
