Fear of Vulnerability

Vulnerability- Word of the Week

I feel like most of my character defects stem from my lack of purpose. I believe that if I had a strong sense of direction and was working toward a goal that was fulfilling, I would have a stronger sense of self and wouldn’t rely on my defects to carry me through life. I use things like dependency, lust, and manipulation to provide me with things that I could easily provide for myself. I fall back on my defect of lack of purpose to justify my lack of motivation. Instead of stepping into the world and putting myself out there in order to find my purpose. I convince myself that I’m safe and comfortable in my situation even though in all actuality my fear of vulnerability and risk-taking causes a lot of instability and depression.
