Being emotional naked is very hard to achieve for most people because it requires you to open up about details of your life that few people know about. Being emotional naked with close family, friends, or partner is a scary thing to do because of the fear of the unknown. You don't know what the person is going to say or feel when they hear your truth. The last thing you want is to be judged by the person for what you tell them. You just simply want them to be a safe place to talk to about the fears, anxiety and emotional rollercoaster you may feel. Forming any real close relationship with anyone is hard to do because that means that you will eventually have to trust them with a piece of who you are on the inside. Most times there is no guarantee that a person will not react in some form, but that is okay. That's human nature to react to something that you didn't know about someone. The key for the listener is if you love and care about this person who is telling you this information, don't judge them. Listen with love and respect to what they have to say. If this is something that they're struggling with, you would like to know how you can help. For the person providing them information, if you know the person you chose to confide in, trust them to understand. Sometimes more damage is done to yourself or others when things are not said. Just keep these things in mind the next time you have something on your mind that needs to be said.
