This quote underscores the complex experience of vulnerability and societal expectations. Sometimes, individuals feel pressured to appear strong, leading others to underestimate their emotional struggles. Recognizing one's vulnerability is a sign of strength, yet external perceptions can discourage openness. Embracing vulnerability can foster genuine connections and personal growth. It reminds us that even those who seem resilient may need support and understanding.
