Feel the fear and walk through it, again and again.
AphroDemeter: Yes, I do not like being vulnerable. I do not know if it's because the person I would be vulnerable with is expected to reciprocate or they get uncomfortable hearing such vulnerability. Sometimes, being vulnerable does not mean I need advice but that I just needed to vent. I called it being emotionally naked.
