    Vulnerability usually means being taken advantage of.

I read this comment 20 hours ago, and it has been on my mind ever since... it bugs me.

Being vulnerable is expressing trust. You don't need to be vulnerable with everyone; only with people you trust.

Making a poor decision about who you are vulnerable with will lead to you being taken advantage of. The second statement doesn't have to follow the first, if you make better judgements about who you can trust with the keys to your soft insides.
