How to use «Weakness» in context?
Weaknesses can be a source of insecurity and feeling unworthy. They can also be a challenge to overcome. While there is no single definition of weakness, one commondefinition is that a weakness is a vulnerability to attack or vulnerability to harm. Insecurity and fear may arise when we realize that we have a vulnerability. Weaknesses can be physical or emotional.
Physical weaknesses can include having a Qi deficiency, a medical condition, or being overweight. Emotional weaknesses can include being too shy, having low self-esteem, or having a fear of public speaking.
Some people try to compensate for their vulnerabilities by overcompensating.
