However, isolation is almost always more suffocating than sharing your emotional state with people that you trust.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, if you silently believe that you\u2019re less intelligent than everyone around you, that will quickly put you into an unhealthy emotional place. However, if you share your insecurity with a close friend, they may find that your insecurity about your intelligence is all in your head.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Myth #3: \u201cI Can Build Trust Without Vulnerability\u201d<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Trust requires vulnerability between two parties. <\/strong>It is nearly impossible to trust another person if you have no concept of their motives, personality, or feelings. To develop trust, you have to be willing to be vulnerable. Sharing small moments of love, affection, or empathy will help develop a stronger bond with the people around you over time.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Note: Trust takes a long time to build, but only an instant to destroy. In terms of vulnerability, there are two primary causes of the destruction of trust:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Betrayal, or using someone\u2019s vulnerability against them.&nbsp;<\/li><li>Disengagement, or no longer showing interest in someone\u2019s vulnerability.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Emotional Armor<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>With common misconceptions about vulnerability in mind, we often rely on \u201cemotional armor,\u201d or mental states that prevent vulnerability.<\/strong> From childhood, most of us are taught that these behaviors will \u201cprotect\u201d us from being emotionally damaged by other people. However, they only serve as barriers to wholehearted living. There are three major pieces of \u201cemotional armor\u201d: perfectionism, numbing through addiction, and foreboding joy<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What are the three most common myths about vulnerability?
