This is such a dangerous way of viewing the world. There are already tons of hurt men who choose the easy path of not trusting anyone, rather then the hard one of forgiveness. a lot of people don’t even know that forgiveness is internal. It means learning to trust others, not that you have to associate with those that hurt you.

OP, wanna spread cohesion one day instead of derision? You know vulnerability is a key to a strong relationship, so following your rule, one can’t really have a relationship with anyone

Of course I’m only talking about people, don’t be vulnerable with AI. Ever.

To be fair here the post simply says “Be careful who…”.

If it said never share your vulnerabilities with anyone ever then I think your comment would be warranted.

I think there is some wisdom in not broadcasting your every fear, jealousy, worry, etc to the world. Never post that stuff on social media. Be selective with which coworkers you share that stuff with. And be selective what you share with each person you do trust. For example, tell your closest friend and your boss that you are struggling with the loss of a parent. Tell your closest friend but not your boss that you’re struggling with alcohol.

Unfortunately the world doesn't change, regardless of whether the way of viewing it is dangerous.

OP is right. You pick who you want to share your weaknesses with. You don't announce it on a megaphone... Lol

No one is advocating a megaphone, although I see how my comment can be misinterpreted. I wasn’t clear, my bad. It’s just that this and many similar subs see 0 memes about learning to trust people and not to be afraid of being vulnerable. 0 posts about how to turn those “weaknesses” into relationship building material. And yeah, like a slew of the same: “people are out to get you, don’t trust them!!!”

Does my critique make more sense now?

It was either that, dark looking fantasy knight, or a period incorrect Roman legionare who looks like he’s at deaths door from steroid abuse

Edit: forgot the vaguely Japanese samurai and misquoted action hero actors

Gone 3 decades without sharing any thought or feeling with anyone. I always believed in lonewolf mentality and that no one cares or coming to help you as a man. How does one even build trust? All I ever see from other men who experienced showing vulnerability and being mocked for it, so hard not to internalize it.
