Fear of being vulnerable – QFY 461

Why are we so afraid of being vulnerable? We all have this fear - of being exposed, hurt, seen. And yet, without risking all of it just a little, we don't live fully. We are standing on the banks of the river, afraid to jump, and never discover whats on the other side. Expectations increase our fear. When we are tied to a certain outcome, we are less likely to take a chance. If we can go into new situations with fewer expectations, we will notice our fear ebb a little and courage rise to the top.
