RE: Vulnerability - The Key to True Connection

This is such an important message.

In 2015 I gave a TEDx Talk about the importance of being an unselfish storyteller. The stories we all tell are usually selfish in nature and to benefit ourselves. But we all have things we could share that could help others in one way or another.

I have Obsessive Compulsive Disorder and struggle with anxiety and my OCD daily.

Whatever you are going through (whoever might be reading this) you are not alone. There are people waiting to support you and many people in a similar situation. The more we can talk about these types of topics, the more help we'll receive -- the better off we will all be.

Thanks for the post.

That is so true!
Thank you, Michael!

We are, indeed, not alone. And thinking we're alone-- because we are "too different"-- is a slippery slope that leads us towards using that "difference" to separate ourselves even more...

Very true, thanks for the insight.

The illusion of separation lies at the heart of every single one of our fears, addictions, etc etc. It's so simple yet so difficult, because the illusion is so convincing and feels so real.

@michaelluchies Could you please share with us the link to yout Tedx Talk if it's available online?
