Let us first clarify the distinction between vulnerability and weakness. Vulnerability does not equate to weakness; rather, it signifies a heightened sensitivity that makes one more susceptible to emotional or physical harm.
Vulnerability is not inherently negative. It is important to first evaluate your social circle and the individuals around you. Select a few close friends from this group with whom you feel comfortable sharing your vulnerabilities.
There will be times when you need to express your vulnerabilities, but it is crucial to remember not to rely solely on these close friends for all your problems. Strive to find solutions independently. Seek advice from those who understand you and are emotionally stable, but avoid becoming entirely dependent on them. Focus on strengthening your own mind and maintaining self-control. Remember to pray as well.
In conclusion, I would like to echo a quote I once read: “If you don’t have a hand to hold on to, you have a religious place to kneel on.” Kneel and pray to God, who provides solutions for everything. Surrendering yourself to God can alleviate the need to be vulnerable around others.
First of all, ask yourself why do you think being vulnerable is a bad thing?
It might be because someone in the past might have betrayed your trust or misunderstood you, due to which you are afraid of being vulnerable.
We need to remember that being vulnerable is a choice and it also required to strengthen your relationship with someone, to open up to someone completely, but also keep in my mind that if you are courageous enough to be vulnerable, you also gave the power to move away from people who do not respect your feelings.
With the right people being vulnerable won’t feel bad but will give rise to a beautiful relationship.

I would say being vulnerable around others could source from you trusting people easily. We often trust people whom we feel ourselves to be comfortable around or even we think that they would mean no harm. But this world make look like it’s wrapped in gold, but it’s actually wrapped in cheap tin foil. It won’t be easy at first to stop being vulnerable at once, but one thing you can do is, filter who you want to be vulnerable around. And the people choose to be vulnerable around, don’t try to stop yourself in front of them. These people could be your closest friends or family. This can help you gradually cut off your instinct of being vulnerable in front of anyone and everyone.
Being vulnerable around is seen as a bad thing, we as humans need support and hope to survive. We have to choose to whom we can show our vulnerable self. We have family, friends and colleagues which help us during dark times, we also might know or meet some strangers which can help us during this period. Knowing when and to whom to open up to is very crucial. This brings us to the question that how we can identify such person’s presence in our lives. The best, fastest and the most noticeable way I personally tried and tested is to observe how a person treats someone who is below them in a tense and frustrated situation. For example, how a person treats his or her server at a restaurant when the server commits a mistake or how the person treats his or her blue-collar staff. These are a few ways to judge onto whom we can rely on and open up to.
