Dr. Brown's Ted Talk Vulnerability

"Sometimes, I am afraid that I am not prepared enough" I am afraid of rejection and how my parents and friends perceive me so I choose to fall back and allow myself to go unnoticed. For the fear of making mistakes and not living up to my parents expectations and the fear that my  friends will lose interest in me or find me irrelevant. I would define vulnerability as allow others to see your flaws that you do not even address with yourself. I struggle with vulnerability because instead of realizing what I have trouble with I just ignore it and pretend like it is not there, but this simply only makes things worse. I normal freeze up and do nothing when I am faced with something overwhelming. I just become so stressed out that I am not able to do anything. The only way to get through that is to give myself time to think and figure out the best way to fix it.
