I think to a degree we all want people to see that we are vulnerable because we hope people will care for us, love us. It's taking a leap of faith for anyone to reveal their vulnerability because there is such a fear of rejection when we have revealed our most delicate issues.

She was very nervous about flying; grabbed the seat handles when the plane made ascent, took deep breaths with every plane bump and, for much of the flight, sat hunched with her head between her legs. I think something else was going on in her life but I am not certain. She might’ve been crying.<br /><br />Anyway, I thought about trying to distract her from her fear by talking to her, but I didn’t want her to think I was hitting on her and so I ended up not saying anything. Maybe that’s okay --- she has the right to her privacy, after all, and might’ve just told me to mind my own business --- but in my heart I feel I should’ve said something. <br /><br />Why am I telling you this? Well … I have come across this post by chance --- a goodreads link, interestingly --- and feel inclined to say what I should’ve to my seatmate on the plane: If you need someone to talk to, I can listen.<br /><br />Please allow me to add that I find your prose very affecting. You model a vulnerability that I admire. I think a lot of people, likely including myself, hide something of who we are out of fear that, if exposed, the people who say they love us will no longer. I hope that, in opening yourself to this risk --- as you have in this post and others --- you experience a truer sort of love from those around you. <br /><br />- A Stranger <br />Kelly Wilsonhttp://mymusingsonfilm.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.com
