I have checked the internet and read quite a few books, but I still am not able to understand why vinylic and arylic carbocations are highly unstable.
What I found while surfing the internet is: For arylic carbocation, the carbon bearing postive charge cannot participate in resonance with adjacent carbons because it's p orbital is perpendicular to the other orbitals. But, I didn't really understand what this means.
