I think it is both. When I am vulnerable with those I trust like God, my husband, my best friend, mom and etc. I can share those vulnerabilities with them without fear of being judged, ridiculed or even having them used against me. That in turn gives me strength because it’s not always easy to share your weaknesses. Especially if you the strong one like me. However, I have also learned over the years that you must be careful with whom you share those vulnerabilities with. You can be at a huge risk of having those things used against you or even being taken advantage of. So, through trial and error I have learned to use wisdom in this area.

Erica well said! Thank for answering!
