Vulnerability is what you experience when you take a risk, or leave yourself open to emotional harm. For example, when you hire a babysitter, you’re trusting that person with your child when you confess your feelings for someone, you’re trusting that person with your emotional well-being. Trust is the choice to take something that’s important to you and make it vulnerable to another person-it’s the belief that something you value deeply will be safe with another person.
