That is the scary thing about LIFE.....if we are vuleranable we can be hurt.
If we are closed off, we miss a lot.
I have chosen to be open and vuleranable.....as a "Highly Sensitive" person (we make up only 20% of the population, I have read), it is terribly difficult...to live in a world which is basically. NOT.....sensitive.

I agree so much with this post. I sometimes think that more sensitive people are drawn to therapy in a way....It is a good place to be able to let our guards down because (at least the hope is) the therapist is also a fairly sensitive person.
I do think that we can also be hurt if we are not open, though, right? Or is there a lesser chance? Is it better to just open up ....anyway? Is being open its own reward, in a sense....? Or am I just rationalizing that away?
