Why is vulnerability considered to be such a weakness?

The most common way most of us hear the word vulnerable used is, "That country is vulnerable to attack" or "that defense is vulnerable to the pass". This is the way most people view vulnerability and explains why they choose to build walls around themselves as a defense mechanism. If an individual has no areas of vulnerability, they have no areas of weakness and cannot be hurt. Vulnerability involves having the courage to be your true self. However, many people are not happy with their true self, and that is a problem with self-esteem. Many people believe it easier to battle the risks of vulnerability than to overcome their problems with insecurities. The fear of being rejected while displaying your true self always hurts more because you know that person is rejecting you for you. Which scares most people.
