I spent a long time having thick skin. Just getting used to letting things slide off my back and having emotional armour that kept everything in. It was helpful for staying cool as a cucumber, but it also kept my loved ones at bay too.
I agree with Brené. It's time to leave our thick skin behind and remain open to be vulnerable in our lives. Along with that to also know when someone else is projecting their fear onto you and not accept it something that is yours to bear.
