Vulnerability is Not a Weakness, But an Indication of Your Best Humane Traits
Hello, dear Steemians!
Today I want to talk to you about a characteristic flaw that can haunt you all your life if you do not get rid of it.
That characteristic flaw is vulnerability, and I am not attributing faultiness to vulnerability itself, but our society’s negative understanding of this concept and how it affects our relationships and taunts them with all sorts of insecurities and dishonesties.
Vulnerability is an inevitable trait of all human beings. The only difference that they have is how much they are truly in control of their vulnerabilities and how other people can use those mentality holes to hurt them. Otherwise, vulnerability is as inevitable as it is irrefutable.
The main problem with the concept of vulnerability is that many people see it as an inherent weakness that needs to be vanquished or conquered. Being vulnerability might make you prone to some hurtful actions or words, but that does not mean you are a weak person.
A person’s vulnerability might be their past. They run away even at the slightest mention of their past life and memories. The mere recollection of such thoughts comes at great cost to their state of mental well-being.
A person’s vulnerability might be their insecurity about the way they look or the way they talk. When we look at all of these vulnerabilities with an objective approach, we begin to realize that many of them are not even their bearer’s fault.
One could argue that all vulnerabilities are a product of illusory thought that does nothing but to hurt us and our feelings. But this is not our point in this blog post.
What we want to say is that vulnerabilities do not show our weakness, but herald the greatest characteristics of what makes us a human being.
Our emotions often distract us or slow us down in the paths we walk. But they are also an indication of our empathy and our humane characteristics.
Your vulnerability is what makes you relative in the current landscape of the world, as it shows that you are prone to all the other challenges that people have to face. Your vulnerability, or so wrongly called your weak points, are what makes you sympathetic towards other people and their problems.
As you go through more tough experiences in life, you become more and more empathetic to the problems that the people around you face in their daily life, and so will have more wisdom in finding ways to deal with such problems.
In this sense, vulnerability actually contributes to the strength of your presence for the people around you, and thus makes you more motivational and inspiring in their lives.
Do not suppress your vulnerability in order to kill your weaknesses. Emotions may sometimes come in the way and become an obstacle in your path, but they are also the reason that you live your life and live it to its fullest.
Instead of suppressing them, learn how to own your vulnerability and turn it into a weapon that can guide your soul forward and help those that are with you in this journey.
A BIG HUG!

Vulnerability as I google it is
"the quality or state of being exposed to the possibility of being attacked or harmed, either physically or emotionally."
Indeed its not a weakness and maybe most likely an Indication of our best humane traits. @chbartist is definitely right. I salute you man!
And you did it explained very well.
Maybe we could relate this to innocent people, especially those in a battlefield, in war or civil war for instance. Can we see the best human traits to those people?
When our lives are in danger, we get serious, we focus on the most priority and important things rather than those wasteful ones. In this situation, obviously we're doing our very best in us and for others.
Very grateful I stumbled upon your profile😚💚
Being vulnerable is a courageous act.
Just like I often say that I see sensitivity as a strenght, I see vulnerability as one too.
Especially in the modern world of today, there is nothing greater than taking off our mask to show who we really are at the core of our being.💜
Usually I am a person who controls me very well, however I try not to be vulnerable to some situations ... but there are times when I can not anymore ... sometimes it is difficult not to be vulnerable in certain circumstances ... It's a very broad topic ...
Dear @chbartist Though i said couple of times before but today also I want to appreciate your efforts such a nice post about vulnerability. There are few motivational speakers who charge a lot to share knowledge about such topics and there is specific and limited time which they use to discuss about. I appreciate all your efforts and thank you from the bottom of my heart that you are training us through you superb knowledge and life experiences. Please keep doing the same and keep training us. Have a great weekend @chbartist

Vulnerability is popular, every human being feels vulnerable in some ways. So it should not suck your vitality. But vulnerability is objective to all of us, sometime the things that we fear that should not come to light are not that big deal to people us we feared. It is funny that you fear people who are also vulnerable just like you.
Admit your vulnerability but Look for ways to share all the positive things you have could be your talents, skills, education, personality etc than trying to protect yourself. Too much of self protection of your vulnerability will reveal another weakness in you, and you will be worse person people to be around you. Life sometime needs us to be carefree. If you try to control too much your life, your life will turn into a misery.
It is funny that you fear people who are also vulnerable just like you - Well Said @pamoja550!
Thank you marvyinnovation
Dear @chbartist sir!
As we all know that if we do not have any faults then we will become a figure of God. If we use it in the correct way then this is correct
The concept of vulnerability is the positive side of life from where we need it to be the right direction. Vulnerabilities are a product of the idea of delusion that does not actually have weaknesses. When we see all these weaknesses with an objective approach, then we start to realize that many of them do not even have their carrier's fault Rather, the situation arises due to circumstances. All in the situation are odd when we are vulnerabilities to dominate ourselves.
When you show vulnerability by admitting that you don’t know something or that you need help, you appear stronger because you have the confidence to admit that you don’t know everything, but are willing to reach out for answers.
The people who don’t have a lot of self-confidence, don’t often afford themselves the ability to be vulnerable. But the people who do have a lot of self-confidence, are actually willing to show more of themselves, right? They’re willing to be vulnerable because they’re not afraid that someone might come in and take advantage of that..
If you’re a leader in an organization, there is no better way “to evoke and inspire commitment from the people around you and connection than to feel like a real human being with them, Vulnerability helps keep you “relatable” and connected, and you can work more effectively...
Awesome @chbartist...!!
I totally agree that vulnerability is NOT a weakness, it takes a lot of self talk to get myself on board with it on some days. LOL!!
I love your intent and heart in building this community. I'm sorry, I'm not so savvy around this platform or technology. So I have only just discovered that I am on this list. Thank you, it is really heartwarming to see a sense of human togetherness.
We each contribute that love in our own unique way. Thank you for yours, and being you.
Wishing you an absolutely blissfully abundant year ahead @chbartist ! xx
As usual @chbartist Sir, the way you articulated about this very important trait has to be applauded and you have explained it plausibly!
"The only difference that they have is how much they are truly in control of their vulnerabilities and how other people can use those mentality holes to hurt them....
A brilliant, noteworthy point @chbartist Sir. Of course, we must NEITHER suppress NOR encourage it too much. According to the situation, the vulnerability factor must be increased or decreased. IF WE GO FLAT IN ALL SITUATIONS, OUR LIVES WILL ALSO BECOME A MERE FLAT WITHOUT ANY PROGRESS IN THE FORWARD DIRECTION!
Vulnerability is the very basis of the human being, it makes us who we are. Many have sought to hide this side in their lives, they are often people of power who do not want to show weakness and a way to put pressure on them. The great dictator or the CEOs of some companies could have been quoted. I think vulnerability is on the contrary touching because it shows the best of us. To accept it is to accept being imperfect so human, we are not machines ....
