Are you an open person? Do you share your thoughts and
feelings freely? And when you do, do you expect a certain response?Or Is it ”because
I told you I love you and I throw myself at you, you should give me a mutual
response” kind of openness?
With openness did you mean to connect or rather control?
When you were open at your work place and expressed yourself did you expect an
immediate, radical change or you meant to connect yourself to them?
Do you think openness is for connecting and then may be
something will transmit, or openness means you will have control from now on?
Openness is being
honest, clear and sincere, showing who we are and what we feel without
pretense.
When you are open you are being yourself and there is no
need for regret.
The feeling of throwing yourself in front of someone, emotionally being naked, could be terrible ,specially
if you don’t get the mutual response.But hey! You did what you believed was right
and people have the right to respond the way they want.
We have a long way to
figure out what love really is. Love has no reason, when you can say to someone
I love you and I care for you but I don’t know why, that is real love. Once you
have a reason, then it is your thoughts talking and when that reason is not
there anymore, you will start imagining love.
Openness is about
connecting not controlling. We reveal our thoughts without having the intention
to manage the response of others. In another words when we are open, we are
receptive to the surprises of life, whatever it may be : )
It is the same when you are open and ask for help, either
you will get it or not! Being open and asking for help is a stretch you make, stretch is good for you : ) If not for the body it is good for your soul in this
case.
With real openness you care about the views and feelings of
others. Do you?
