Being vulnerable is being open. It is a scary thing. It's one of the reasons why many people don't like to feel. It's one of the reasons why they fear intimacy or commitment. It is because there is the looming possibility of pain, rejection, etc. Because of the fear, of which is of course legitimate, one closes himself in his comfort zone. As one mother says, "it's easier to enclose oneself in a cocoon where one denies feelings either by just deciding to deny them, or by making oneself really busy so that there is no time or space to feel what's there." Are there times that you feel vulnerable and wanted to just stay comfortable? Thank you for sharing your experiences for us to learn something.

most of my 64yrs. ive been vulnerable. wish i could be otherwise. ive really tried it not to be but dont seem to work. im a woman and i think most women are vulnerable. if that means letting others into your heart even when you get hurt.

In those 64 years, I believe you've gained a lot of experience how to overcome vulnerability. I admire you for reaching such an age. Have a wonderful day Madame.

Hmm what do you think? Well that's me, I'm a type of person who did not deny anything I'm a honest person, and love to share my experiences. But of course I choose the person who I will talked to and shared what I have. I'm not the one who will share my emotion when no one ask me. If someone who considered me as a friend I will tell them honestly. I'm just true to myself and to anyone who knows me. I think most of the people in mylot are vulnerable because they (including me) are not scared to shared the feelings deep inside.

There are times when I feel vulnerable and there are times that I'm not. Often times, I feel vulnerable when I'm showing my works with other people. I pour a lot of effort when it comes to doing digital art and composing music so I'll easily get hurt if I recieve a non-constructive criticism regarding my art. But all other times, I'm as soulless as a rock.

Look, I think I am a person very vulnerable and mostly without character. I can not react, I can not lodge an objection in front of anybody. So I'm always in harmony with myself, when I'm alone. And this is really a bad thing! Today's society puts you to the test every day, sometimes in front of a situation as extreme, and you do not know how to get to grips. I know, everybody tells me that I must become a "strength and courage" and to combat this weakness, but believe me: it is not easy!

Yes, I am, i know that I'm vulnerable and that's why I rather keep distance most of the time. I'm rather careful with whom I let in my comfort zone. I can open my heart and show my emotions, but not any time or to anyone, as it is too easy to get hurt.
