Being courageous is not synonymous to the absence of fear. In fact, being brave always holds a degree of doubt and uncertainty, but it’s about taking the leap anyway. The same principle applies to relationships. Just because you decide to be involved with someone romantically, doesn’t mean you necessarily stop being afraid, but when you practice being open to failure, heartache, and growth, you allow yourself to build something worthwhile and fulfilling. Are you having difficulty opening up? Psych2Go shares with you 6 ways to be vulnerable in love:

1. Admit and own up to your mistakes.

Relationships often suffer because pride is prioritized more than admitting and owning up to one’s mistakes. When you practice vulnerability, it’s about being self-aware and exposing your flaws and quirks openly and honestly. Often, we may focus on being superior because we’re afraid of letting our guards down. So, we hold onto our pride and ego instead of admitting our …

1. “I am beautiful.”

2. “I love and approve of myself.”

3. “I choose to think thoughts that enhance my life greatly.”

4. “I am worthy.”

5. “I accept myself exactly as I am.”

6. “Forgiveness is the door out of my past.”

7. “When I forgive myself, it is easier for me to forgive others.”

8. “I accept that I cannot change anyone but myself.”

9. “My life is constantly improving.”

10. “I understand that in order to grow, change is needed.”

11. “I flow easily with life.”

12. “I am worthy of forgiveness.”

13. “All experiences are opportunities to grow.”

14. “I welcome positive change with ease.”

15. “I am deeply grateful for all of the wonderful people and things in my life.”

16. “I radiate good health.”

17. “I only give my body goodness.”

18. “I trust my intuition.”

19. “I lovingly think in a positive way.”

20. “I am at peace with myself.”

How fast she has to talk.

If a man were saying that, he’d be going slowly to emphasise points. He’d be indulging in the occasional ‘you know’ or other filler words. He’d be able to stop for breath. Notice that she didn’t do that. She had the whole thing memorised and she got it out with barely a pause to breathe.

Why?

Because she expected to be interrupted.

One of the biggest pitfalls in any relationship is getting caught in the trap of needing to be right. Inevitably the two (or more) people in the relationship come across things they disagree on; stumbling blocks that put the relationship in jeopardy. If you don’t know how to communicate when you come across these blocks, or if you find yourself not understanding each other, you end up with a mess. You two might start resenting each other, or you might start arguing even more. And if you’re already struggling with disagreements, fighting more could be the final nail in the coffin. Avoid this weird, complicated process by taking care of yourself and your partner, and making sure you two are on the same page.

1. Utilize “I feel” Statements

If you speak from a place of personal experience, there’s less of a chance for someone’s defense mechanisms to come into play. Many times in arguments and disagreements it’s these defense mechanisms that cause the most harm. People get angry, sad, and they no longer think clearly. By making sure you’re talking about your experience and what you feel, you’ll……
