I remember the first time I took out time to think about being vulnerable and I gave myself a lot of reasons not to give myself to vulnerability but that didn’t help my kind of person.
People are always quick to act when they see a vulnerable situation but then, it also makes them vulnerable too when prying on a vulnerable person but they don’t know or even see this.
I believe it’s fine to be vulnerable but then, be wise. I once saw a movie when the lead cast said that for him to deceive others, he has to first deceive himself and those close to him. It is never easy but it turns out well in the end.
You don’t have to see the whole path, as long as you see the few steps ahead of you that’s fine. The headlights (in this case - the flames) will keep pointing you in the step after and the one after.

Good thoughts!
My dad used to be like this. He would always believe his own lies and I'd never be able to see whether he was telling the truth or not.
Telling a lie to yourself often enough that you believe it -- it's probably the best deceiver of them all (and worst).
Vulnerability is scary sometimes!
Not really literally lying to oneself. Like, for you to make others believe something, you have to also believe that thing too.
Lying to yourself won’t even help anything. It would only keep pushing you away from the change that you need.
And yes. I think vulnerability is scary almost all the time except you find someone that doesn’t prey on your vulnerability.
