No matter how hard you might try, you can't just flip a switch when you step into

the office and turn your emotions off. Feeling feelings is part of being human.

A pervasive myth exists that emotions don't

belong at work, and this often leads us to mistakenly equate professionalism with being stoic or even cold. But research shows that in the moments when our colleagues drop their glossy professional presentation, we're actually much more likely to believe what they're telling us. We feel connected to the people around us. We try harder, we perform better and we're just generally kinder. So it's about time that we learn how to embrace emotion at work.

Now, that's not to say you should suddenly

become a feelings fire hose. A line exists between sharing, which builds trust, and oversharing, which destroys it. If you suddenly let your feelings run wild at work and give people far more information than they bargained for, you make everyone around you uncomfortableand you also undermine yourself. You're more likely to be seen as weak orlacking self awareness,so, great to say you weren't feeling well last night

－－ you don't need to go into every lurid detail about how you got reacquainted with yourhalf-digested dinner.

So there's a wide spectrum of emotional

expression. On one hand, you have under-emoters, or people who have a hard time talking about their feelings, and on the other end are over-emoters, those who constantly share everything that's going on inside, and neither of these make for a healthy workplace. So what's the balance between these

two extremes? It's something called selective vulnerability.

Selective vulnerability is opening up while still

prioritizing stability and psychological safety,

both for you and for your colleagues. Luckily, anyone can learn to be selectively

vulnerable, with practice.
