    i saw the other day a comment on her book in amazon that said that the book was not good because she uses really common language for a woman with university studies. I'll never understand how people pretend critical and important information to reach a large population using really specific and confusing terms just to give the image of profesionalism. This woman is really good at communicating and is explaining something useful and important.

    The comment was probably from someone who also had university studies that feels that if they don’t use $20 words every other sentence in an effort to “prove” their own “education”, then they’re not going to be taken seriously…aka, it seems like they’re unintentionally expressing their own vulnerability. Give me someone who’s comfortable saying “bullshit” any day over some who feels they have to use some clinical …bullshit….term to try to get their point across and prove how “smart” they are.

That huge hammer of science has been honed down to a razor edge of a few crisp points, delivered with calmness, conviction and humor, in an 18 minute talk. WOW. I am inspired.

    Up until 24 hours ago, before I watched this video I made fun of people who loved so recklessly and willingly gave into the vulnerability in order to experience something beautiful. And I know now that that judgement came from a place of shame. It came from a place that had been hurt and rejected and not chosen multiple times by multiple people. It came from a voice that told itself to harden and be strong and don't let people in anymore, be you're own happiness, your own love, don't be weak or vulnerable to men because that'll get you hurt. But this Ted Talk changed my life. It changed my perception. And although it took some brutal self analysis and judgement, I instantly felt a sense of relief as she spoke of how it's okay, NECESSARY even to let that in, to live your life with vulnerability and compassion and boundaries so thank you. You probably saved my life and future college career.

    I am with you Karly. It is such a frustration to watch authentic, non-insecure, non-codependent love expressed by people. For so much of my life, I felt such a distaste for genuine expressions of love that I watched others so naturally show to each other. My cynicism wouldn't let me recognize the beauty there. It seems to have been built on a constant frustration at not seeming to be able to connect with people the way everyone else seemed to so easily, and because I never confronted it, it grew into this caustic cynicism that steals any joy or connection from any experience I had. It sucks that some of us find natural emotion more difficult (sometimes seemingly ungraspable) for whatever reasons. I know feeling is better than not feeling, though. Having felt both, there's no comparison, even though the addiction to despair or cynicism hides the discomfort of disconnection for a while. The addiction to numbness seems like the best I can hope for sometimes. But it's not.

    I just started a really intense program in college and had a tough day in the lab, went home and felt unmotivated to study. My relationship is a mess and most importantly, I felt extremely lonely. Wanted to change things up so I searched for this video, which I have initially watched 6 years ago and I remember it was inspiring. Watched the whole video, tears run down my face and I realized that I was being too harsh on myself and forgot to be grateful for what I have. Thank you Brene, you have taken me out of the dark place and I will rewatch this video for the stormy days to come. Life is not easy but gotta have fun and enjoy it while we can. If you are struggling like me, I genuinely hope things turn up for you and you can find the light in your life. Best wishes!!!!

    I relate so much! Just graduated after a really intense 2 year program. I had a light bulb moment a while back where it occurred to me that I'm so hard on myself. Trying to make a new habit of looking at all of my thoughts/feelings (especially the ones that are so automatic) and ask if I would have that same thought about someone I care about, or say to them what I say to myself, or apply that same pressure, or see the situation in that same light, etc... I knew immediately that most of those negative things I would not even think up about someone else... And if I treated others the way I treat myself, no one would like me, I'd be awful. I think it took so long to click for me because it's all so automatic, I'm used to the thoughts and sometimes its almost unconscious and takes pause to spot it happening. I also am not the 'classic' - cliche version of a perfectionist. Anyway, having realized that I just have to make a habit of be aware of those patterns of thinking.

    9:32 that's what I'm doing now. I'm a shy, introspective person, and the last few years I put on my mind I had to try to be more extroverted, talk more, but this latest months I realized that this was making me feel worst, because I'm not the way I wanted to be, and when I tried to be talkative I couldn't, so this made me sad and disappointed. So now I'm accepting myself, I'm a introspective person, and I'm fine with it. I don't care what people think about it, because people tend to judge us.

To be vulnerable means to be authentic, to remove any masks you are wearing because you don't need to pretend to be someone you are not. You are worthy of love and belongingness, you are worthy of being seen, you are enough, and you matter ♥💜💙

Being vulnerable makes you so like me, like all of us, and it stops the belief that others are different, better, more made for success. But, vulnerability is uncomfortable, and takes courage, as she mentions. It is what i admire most in people, and why I have always believed that vulnerability is what makes people hear you.

    As Clint Eastwood said in UNFORGIVEN right before he blew Gene Hackman's brains out, "DESERVES GOT NOTHIN TO DO WITH IT". It sounds good, but we accept things we're not sure we deserve all the time, including Love, if anybody actually knows what the word means.

    Not all people, you have to find a different environment. It's difficult, but you won't succeed if you don't try. Certain areas, fields of work, communities are like that and if you're a part of them, this is what you see. Try to find communities / fields of work where people are more likely to be authentic and value that in others. Good luck!

I've definitely seen americans on the internet who are not like that, but it seems tough. But based on the last couple sentences I'd like to give you a piece of advice, if that's ok. People actually love doing things FOR others, not so much the other way around. The ones who take advantage are more or less narcissistic and you can't expect good relationships with them. Maybe think of how you can change your approach, be around people who want to give to you or neither give nor take. I'm sure some of Dr. K's advice will also come in handy if this is an experience you struggle with. Later today I can go through his channel and see if I can remember which videos deal with that, if you are interested.

    ​@@ed868 I just wrote the longest reply and it wasn't sent... I hate my life. To put it shortly, I'd say find people who care about others, e.g. involved in helping animals or people, creating and maintaining communal spaces, etc. Make sure they're not doing it for narcissistic/ego reasons or because they're trying to escape their feelings. You can also create a community/event about something like that. People who genuinely want to help others tend to be more accepting and authentic. If you care about a cause but don't know how you can help, the best way imo is to ask someone who's involved, like an organizer, preferably in person. People like helping. I think one of the biggest issues, eps. with men, is not being able to ask for help, always wanting to be on top of things. However, that doesn't allow for genuine connection. I hope that helps a bit, have a good day!

    I watched this for the first time two years ago. Vulnerability felt like a very important topic but I couldn’t quite get a good understanding of how to achieve it. I’ve been going to therapy ever since, and today I decided to rewatch this. I am honestly surprised at how much my understanding developed, I can now recognize the complexity of the concepts attached to it which I am now more aware of. I can’t say I’ve reached a good point of balance within myself yet, but I feel closer than ever before. My life experiences, fueled by greater awareness brought by therapy, have truly changed the way I perceive myself and the world - the “perceptual expansion” she mentions early on in the video.

I rarely date and I do tend to get involved with things that don't work. He had told me that if I felt that it was too overwhelming that I should do what I needed to do for myself. When it got difficult because I couldn't see him all the time I called it off. It took me two years to come to this decision. It was hard on me, but I actually felt better. It took me a long time to get to know him too.

I've been blessed so much in my life , despite many of my own problems over the years. I think it is a great thing to add subtitles for those who cannot hear.

    To those saying she is not being vulnerable: the very act of being on stage is vulnerability. Talking about such a taboo subject is vulnerable. Vulnerability does not always take the shape of a crying face in front of others. It is simply us being authentic in spite of the fact that in doing so, we allow others to demean who we really are, authentically. That is vulnerability. I will attain this one day soon.

    Vulnurability needs to be addressed by us all. As a 18 year old college student surrounded by guy friends in my dorm, we have all become experts of pushing down our fear and shame and deepest vulnerabilities because it's easy to blend into the crowd. It saddens me. Recently I've noticed that I have shame for just having emotions. And that needs to stop!

In the thirteen years I've dealt with my condition, one that leaves me in constant agony & using a walking stick, I can honestly say I wouldn't change it. It's part of who I am, and I'm happy with that person. Hopefully, this will inspire others to embrace themselves.

    +Garnet Seren - Well said! People often do not know real vulnerability, unless they have had some awful life issues. I love your attitude and spirit. Being disabled myself, I understand the pain, both physical/emotional/spiritual, and trust God daily to help me & my family. I too, try to keep a positive attitude, as I believe that helps me and all of those whom I encounter, even if just a few minutes a day - it can make a difference, you just never know. I know when I am at my weakest (not most vulnerable necessarily), God shows up in amazing ways! When I am vulnerable and share with others (truly open up and am 'real'), is when I find that others really 'connect' with me! The BEST thing about being #vulnerable is that if you and I are willing to be vulnerable, we are also giving permission for others to be as well! It is so important, esp. in this virtual world of ours, to be vulnerable with one another (when led to do so), so that others can experience you and I in real & #genuine ways. So, let's all Connect, Share & be Genuine with someone today!

    I never said they did. What I was highlighting was the difference from being an able-bodied person to someone being disabled (I have been both) and the vulnerability that brought. I wasn't born with my disability, it happened after a bad accident, followed by a severe illness. I went from being fiercely independent, to having to use a walking stick before I'm even 30 as well as needing my husband's help to be able to shower or prepare a meal. Going from someone that nothing ever phased, to being too scared to even sit in my garden on my own. That was the vulnerability I was talking about. And the only reason I am explaining this is in a bid to make you realise that sometimes you need to stop & consider what might be someone else's story. If you still choose to be narrow minded & rude, well... that's on you. At least I tried.

    It's crazy how true this is . About four years back when I passed high school I was broken , insecure and vulnerable. My best friend left me. The boy I liked rejected me. For the same fucking girl. I thought when I enter uni I'll change it all , I will not be this pathetic person I am , I'll change for good. That's what I did, I started relying less on others , closed myself off, had friends some really good people but I never allowed myself to get close as a protective measure. I tried to numb myself of all the feelings, good or bad. Everything was going well good grades , good social life but I was not happy. I couldn't understand what was wrong. I felt hopeless , without a direction. One day I broke down in front of a friend. Got everything on my mind out, showed her my pathetic side which I was scared to face. It was difficult. But I felt 1% better. So after watching this talk, everything made sense . I'm still not comfortable in being vulnerable in front of people. But I am trying .So anyone else suffering, you should give it a try too.

    There’s a reason they say the pen is mightier than the sword. Words have the power to lift people higher than they’ve ever been or tear them down so they’ll never get up again. They have the power to start revolutions, or stop them from every happening. Those words you call “love yourself crap”? Those words saved someone’s life, and gave many others the chance to propose, or get out of the closet, or finally stop listening to words of their bullies. Those words made a difference. They are definitely not crap in the slightest.

    My TAKEAWAY from this : Embrace life's messiness and lean into discomfort, as connection and vulnerability give meaning to our existence. Shame stems from fear of disconnection, leading to a lack of love and belonging. However, those who embrace vulnerability believe in their worthiness, showing compassion to themselves and others. They understand that being imperfect is courageous and beautiful. Instead of seeking control and predictability, they choose to live authentically and embrace their emotions fully. Blame only serves to deflect pain. By allowing ourselves to be seen and loved wholeheartedly, we find fulfillment. Despite uncertainties, practicing gratitude and joy reaffirms our sense of being enough.

The power of vulnerability is so real, I've never been happier in my life being vulnerable with the ones I love. Not weak, I still set boundaries and avoid toxic relationships - but being vulnerable with those you feel safe with, is golden. Although I find this true, I give my thanks to Jesus because he truly transformed me from the inside out to feel worthy. I thank God every day that He made this happen for me.
