Fear of Vulnerability

Have you ever seen someone who keeps to themselves? What do you think of them? We often categorize them as Loners. But
what if they feel 'Vulnerable' and it scares the daylight out of them? Vulnerability is the quality or state of being exposed to the
possibility of being harmed. It improves self-confidence, strengthens relationships, and helps in self-acceptance. If it helps in
so many ways, why do people fear it? Because it is attached to challenging emotional states like rejection, judgment,
mistreatment, and feeling inadequate.

Thereasons are countless. It might be due to their inability to blend in with their surroundings. It might also be due to a
The
previous betrayal of trust. Every so often, uncertainty induces fear. The fear of vulnerability is normal but plays a vital part in
shaping an individual's character. Due to this, they isolate themselves from their surroundings. They close themselves to
opportunities. Soon, they start self-blaming and internalize negative thoughts about themselves. They feel convinced that they
are the reason for all the bad things in their lives. It is self-deprecating and often causes pain to others. It hampers them from
learning from their mistakes.

What t
Whato do to uproot this fear from us? The answer is facing them. Appreciating oneself and being comfortable in our skin is
the first step. Embracing ourselves makes us feel confident and helps us accept our flaws and imperfections. It prevents the
necessity to seek validation. The second step is to talk and get comfortable with people. Finding people similar to us can make
us comfortable. If our friends are experiencing this, we can help them by making the environment safe.

All it takes is effort and a lot of time!

Innocence to maturity

“Innocence dwell with wisdom, but never with ignorance.”
When we all came into this world, we came as an innocent infant. We radiated our beauty of innocence until the society gave
us minds, but now we all wanted to get rid of our minds and became innocent again. The regain of innocence is what we call
as maturity. Children have such an innocent view of their world and surroundings. Every thought is a garden full of wonders
for them. The memories of the childhood are cherished by almost everyone.
N Now a days to be happy also we find reasons, but when we were children, we always get angry for reason. This show that we
are in devoid of childhood memories and bliss. We can never go back to our innocent childhood. Hope time travel machines
be invented soon so that one can experience childhood memories twice. Maturity is needed in work but to live a life with
happiness, we all need our innocence. We may grow up and get placed in good companies with good amount of money, but
those are all our physical facilities. For getting joy, bliss and peacefulness in our life, it does not come with maturity only
innocence can give it.
Childen are like buds. They care for everyone equally without discrimination. We always need to preserve our innocent soul
Childr
to live a lively life. The more innocent you are, the more blissful you will be. Let our innocence never be apart from our heart.
As Buddha says,
“Light the lamp within; strive hard to attain wisdom. Become pure and innocent, and live the world of light.”
