We introverts often wear our independence like a badge of honour, convincing ourselves that figuring everything out alone is somehow noble. Yet beneath the resourcefulness can sit something far less comfortable: a fear of what happens after we ask for help, share honestly, or allow ourselves to be seen. In this episode, I explore the vulnerability hangover that can follow moments of openness, along with the stories we tell ourselves about weakness, credibility and judgement. I share a very recent experience that left me replaying every detail and questioning everything. The real question is not whether vulnerability is risky. It is whether keeping everything bottled up is costing us far more than we realise.
