Brene Brown

Brene Brown talks about the importance of vulnerability in our lives.  Browne begins by talking about the research that she had done comparing two groups of people.  One group of who had a feeling of shame and fear the thought of not being good enough. The other group where people that had a sense of worthiness (a strong sense of love and belonging).  In her research  she found a simularity between these two groups and that was vulnerability; In order to find that sense of belonging and love we have to put ourselves on the line and face that chance that we may be shut down.

This was a very enlightening speech for me as I tend to bloke myself of from being my vulnerable to others. I'm scared of either their judgment of what they think of things I say or opening up emotionally or romantically  to people in fear that I will be hurt.  This Video made me look at the reason why I block myself of to people; I believe on of these reasons for worrying about people judgment about me comes from being made fun of when I was younger for speaking what was on my mind this lead to me thinking about what I was about to say and thinking how people would react to what I would say.  The reason I block myself off emotionally and romantically from other is having a sense that emotions made you weak (only babies cry)and Romantically watching my mom go through two divorces makes me scared that relationships that I'm in will also fail and end in pain

This speech has me gradually putting myself out there talking more in groups and not caring how they react to my opinion as time goes on hopefully it will allow me to open up to more people and accept that leaving myself vulnerable to others will lead  me to that sense of belonging and love.
