vulner ability
Being vulnerable doesn't have to be a bad characteristic.
In my opinion, being vulnerable means being open to possibilities. I believe it's actually an ability.
People that take advantage of someone just because they're open is just plain wrong. If everyone shut down, we wouldn't share anymore, wouldn't be able to be part of interesting communities. We would all isolate even more.
Overcoming the fear of being vulnerable is something I'm constantly working on, because it usually comes with the anxiety, self-deprecation and self-doubting.
I try to be as open to experiences as possible, even if turns out to be a bad thing, at least I had the courage, and endurance to experience it.
But being vulnerable doesn't mean that you shouldn't value yourself, you have to keep this in mind so bad people can't actually take advantage of you. They only value you, how you value yourself.
So if you feel like being taken advantage of, stop and think about how you feel about you. Your value. You might see something like I did and figure out a way to take action to value yourself like you should. So you wouldn't put yourself in situations similar to these anymore.
