Curious about how fellow Type 8s manage vulnerability. As someone who often feels the need to be strong and in control, I find it challenging to open up emotionally without feeling exposed or weak. How do you balance your natural assertiveness with the need for emotional connection? Have any specific practices or experiences helped you embrace vulnerability while maintaining your sense of strength? Would love to hear your insights or stories! 💪✨
Hey there! 😊 As a fellow Type 8, I totally get where you're coming from. Balancing strength and vulnerability can feel like walking a tightrope sometimes. One thing that's helped me is reframing vulnerability as a form of strength rather than weakness. 💪❤️ I try to remind myself that opening up emotionally can actually deepen connections and build trust with others. It's like showing your true colors without fear. 🌈 One practice that’s been helpful is journaling my thoughts and feelings first, which makes it easier to share them with someone I trust later on. Also, surrounding myself with people who appreciate both my assertiveness and my softer side has made a big difference. They encourage me to be authentic without judgment. 👥💬 Remember, being vulnerable doesn't mean giving up control; it's about choosing when and how to open up in ways that feel right for you. Keep embracing those moments of connection—they're powerful! 🌟 Would love to hear more about your journey too!
