All of us will admit to some vulnerabilities or weaknesses. Some we are happy to ignore; few of us are concerned we do not possess the talent to be movie stars, but if they concern our work or personal life in the slightest we obsess over them. So we spend money and more importantly, time, taking courses, going to seminars, or reading books desperately trying to "fix" what is perceived to be broken. For some reason, we believe we need to be Superman (or woman). We forget of course that even Superman had a vulnerability (and it was a doozy!)
The real problem lies not with your vulnerability, but with the perception of how important it is, and the belief that it indicates something needs to be fixed within you. The reality is that there are some vulnerabilities you cannot eliminate, no matter how hard you try. Nothing is broken, nothing requires fixing, they are what they are, they are part of what makes you, you.
Accept your vulnerabilities and find ways (and people!) to compensate for them. You'll find it more rewarding, and far more enjoyable.
