Wondering, why does sharing make one feel so vulnerable...?

Sharing does make you vulnerable. This world is very judgmental place. Everyone has opinions about everything, if they have the knowledge and truth or not. To be able to share our deepest pains, that is to open ourselves to the possibilities of being hurt even more. Who wants that, right? Even when we feel we can trust someone, we wonder if we trust ourselves enough to be right about the person we decide to share with.
This feeling is double edged sword, I think. It helps protect us, but sometimes at the cost of moving a step forward by trusting someone. I do wish this wasn't the case. I'm sorry you are struggling with this at the moment.

Thank you @MeBeMary, what you say makes sense. I've gone through periods of trying to open up, share and let people in and then feeling very insecure indeed, fearing being judged. It has rarely worked out. I always assume because I'm just so weird and different. I'm not sure yet where this came from this morning.
Thank you @Painnbroken, you're always so very sweet.
