VULNERABLE: VULNERABLE is capable of being physically or emotionally wounded

BEING VULNERABLE?: Being vulnerable means being in a position where other people can hurt you. It often means expressing the sides of yourself about which you have the least confidence or certainty, and allowing others to respond to them.

Professor and author Brene Brown suggests that vulnerability is an important measure of courage and that it allows people to be seen and understood by the people who are important in their life. 2.Being vulnerable also serves as an important way to foster authenticity, belongingness, and love.3
When you can accept vulnerability, you may find that you experience important emotional benefits.
