I often used to think that I must be vulnerable with the people I'm close with. However, it backed fired me many times. For instance, I felt like my enrgy got drained to the point that I'm not able to think properly.

There can be many reasons, but now I believe that the people I was vulnerable with didn't took me seriously and maybe they didn't tried to understand me. Such type of conversations lead me to disappointments and it indeed hit my self-esteem too.

Solution? I started taking calculated risk and it's completely fine! Because I can't control other people's thoughts but I do have the control over whom I can share. ~Just some thoughts on the above quote~
