“Terrified of being alone, yet afraid of intimacy, we experience widespread feelings of emptiness, of disconnection, of the unreality of self.

And sometimes she hasn't always projected the confidence it takes to be in some ways weak. But that's what I think people were looking for, that moment of human connection.” PeopleThinkingRealSometimesMomentsPolicyEmotionalWeakClintonVulnerableSpeakers Author:David Brooks

She's going from house to house, all those houses have windows that you can look in. We're a very vulnerable and exposed audience.” ThinkingKidsFilmHouseAudienceViolenceEmotionalHorrorWindowShiningVulnerableIntimacyHalloweenVery DeepHorror FilmNicholsonShelleyBabysitting Author:Kimberly Peirce
