Human Connection.

We can connect to others more easily when we make ourselves vulnerable. When we are talking about our setbacks, our mistakes, the things we don’t like about ourselves, and more of what we sometimes would like to hide, we give the other person the opportunity to share his or her shortcoming without the negative side effects, without them having to be ashamed of what they are talking about.

This enables us to feel more connected, to see similarities, to feel human.
