Takeaway: Vulnerability connects us by creating shared experiences, fostering empathy for both positive and negative emotions. Balancing empathy is crucial for lasting relationships.
Vulnerability is important in connecting with others. It allows us to create shared experiences.
Creating shared experiences allows us to empathize with others—the ability to feel the emotions they feel.
This means we can feel the positive emotions expressed by others, but it also means we can experience the negative emotions too.
Empathetic balance is the idea that the positive and negative need balance.
Too much negativity and people will avoid you. Too much positivity and people will struggle to connect with you.
This balance is the key lasting relationships.
