Re: Vulnerability
@Matt12 Hi Matt12 you dont have to be a man to not be 'vulnerable'. I find it very hard to be vulerable and hide it under a veneer of toughness and lightheartedness. People often think the pea is hard sometimes even cold but I am not I just don't show my weaknesses for protection. Being vulnerable is hard but not impossible just make sure you stay protected.

Re: Vulnerability
Hey @Matt12, it can be hard to relearn empathy, sympathy and vulnerability, especially if one has been conditioned to block out all of these emotions previously. While you may not express it, having an understanding of what they are and what situations, where they are appropriate, might help you in your journey. Are you currently relearning all of this with your medical professional?
Think in real life, there's never going to be anyone with the "perfect" balance, we are all individual with different scales of empathy, sympathy and vulnerability.
