Vulerability is___________?

[kenny66]

My psych says I am the most naive person he knows and that naivity makes me vulnerable. I don't know if that's a negative or a positive.

Vulnerability is opening yourself up to people, allowing them to share your experiences.

I recently opened up a lot because I have just started Uni. The advice I received from the Uni. was to let people know as much as possible about your studies and establish some people as supporters. It recently backfired when my boyfriend spent 20 mins telling me I should take a break from my assignment. I wished I had not told hm as much about my studies because I really didn't appreciate the way he was trying to help me. Is there any way to become less vulnerable?

For me, Vulnerability is acceptance.

Vulnerability is living with uncertainties and ambiguities.

That's not vulnerable. Your boyfriend sounds like my previous partner. I chose Uni over him. It was hard to do, but worth the peace of mind...

Vulnerability is an underlying condition which can be activated by stressful situations. When this happens anyone can show signs of a mental illness whether they have one or not. I'm vulnerable to other peoples opinion because I feel hurt when their opinions do not match my own. I am working to change that.
