Why We Hide Emotional Pain (Leon F. Seltzer, Ph.D.)
Excerpt (via Psychology Today):
“Not to show vulnerability is typically viewed as a strength, a “demonstration” of character. But in reality the major motives in hiding our emotions are (as I’ve already indicated) fear-based. We’re just afraid to look weak or susceptible to others. Paradoxically, though, unashamedly disclosing our vulnerability can actually be a deliberate personal statement of both sensitivity and—yes—courage.”
Guess I should be considered real fucking brave tonight then.. if only it wasn’t so awkward.
