As you read this post, understand that this idea, although very tangible, can be somewhat idealistic. This is just something I've learned from my experiences...
Over the past few years, I have found myself becoming more and more comfortable opening up to people. I understand that discretion is important, especially when first meeting someone and building a new relationship, but at some point, keeping yourself closed off to others can be detrimental. I'm not saying that we should go around telling people every intimate detail of our lives; obviously there's a line we shouldn't cross, and there are some that should be kept at a distance for one reason or another. I just think we can make stronger connections with others if we open ourselves up and allow them to see who we are. For many, this may require stepping outside of our comfort zone, but from my experience, it makes a world of difference.
When we open up to someone, making ourselves vulnerable, it allows them to open up as well, and can lead to a more genuine relationship.
