From these comments i'm getting the impression that:

  • Being vulnerable here means some mix of being emotional, being compassionate, and being connected.

  • The idea is to be lightly vulnerable, or vulnerable within limits.

  • The name 'vulnerability' has the effect of emphasizing the paradox of desiring instability.
