Would someone explain "vulnerability" and/or "emotional vulnerability"?

Question

from a woman's point of view?

Answer 1

vulnerable
–adjective
1.capable of or susceptible to being wounded or hurt, as by a weapon: a vulnerable part of the body.
2.open to moral attack, criticism, temptation, etc.: an argument vulnerable to refutation; He is vulnerable to bribery.
3.(of a place) open to assault; difficult to defend: a vulnerable bridge.

basically you're confidence is low, and people can easily hurt you. As for emotional vulnerability, it's when ones emotions are easily hurt. If a woman is vulnerable, don't take advantage of her. She can get easily hurt

Answer 2

Vulnerability is when you at risk of coming to harm for example, an elderly person who has heart problems, someone who is particularly gullible, someone who may need taking care of at times.

Emotional vulnerability is the same thing but to do with emotions.
It usually means that the person is sensitive either genetically or because of things that have happened to them. If you are emotionally vulnerable you are at risk perhaps from depression when emotional things become too much.
It's possible for a person to be emotionally vulnerable just for a set period of time, eg. bereavement

Hope this helps

Answer 3

Women are emotional and vulnerable at times due to hormonal changes in the body. But many are just plain sensitive to everything which might be the effect of fear or low self-esteem.

Answer 4

Vulnerability in me is a result of my insecurity's. If you notice that someone isn't confident about something, if they are self-conscience about it or defensive, well that's probably their vulnerability, they can be easily wounded in that area.
