I have a question about the episode Overcoming Fear & Trauma While Harnessing Your Power w/ Lewis Howes | The Expert Series and the clip Unmasking Vulnerability. If I have worked super hard on myself physically and mentally for years as a 21-year-old man, why does it sting much more when I open up about my life, values, and passions and still don't achieve a deeper connection? This question relates to the episode “If You're FEELING LOST In Life, Use These SECRETS TO FIND YOURSELF!” | Tim Storey & Lewis Howes and the clip Embracing Vulnerability. Furthermore, how do the concepts discussed in #278: The Ultimate Comeback: Rebuilding Life After Addiction with Donny Starkins and Finding Safety, Sharing Stories apply to this situation?
