So there are situations where it wouldn't be appropriate to be openly vulnerable. Like in the middle of class, standing up and telling everyone your past trauma. That's not an appropriate time to share.
But if the people you were with just didn't want you to be open and vulnerable, that's on the people, not you. It's better to be surrounded by people who accept you and are willing to hear your truth.
