Conclusion: The Importance of Vulnerability

Lexico.com describes vulnerability as the state of being exposed to the possibility of being attacked or harmed, either physically or emotionally. (Source)

The importance of vulnerability is the capacity to share and talk about the things that may hurt a person, and because of this, it allows new ways of looking at situations with fresh eyes.

Author and lecturer, Brené Brown teaches that “Vulnerability is the birthplace of innovation, creativity, and change”. (Source)

Accessing this change improves one’s image of self-worth, as one would allow themselves to be accepted by those around them. Being honest and open to change helps a person rethink their negative self-image.

Vulnerability exposes the truth, making it easier to overcome negative emotions and process these emotions more healthily. Allowing one’s self to process their vulnerability enables a person to become more accountable for their actions, making them more self-aware.

Being vulnerable makes an individual more accountable for their thoughts, patterns, and behavior, which opens up avenues to pursue positive changes.
