Self+Disclosure

=
Self-disclosure is “the process by which one person lets his or her inner being, thoughts, and emotions be known to another” (Medical Dictionary). For something to be considered as self-disclosure, “it must be intentionally shared, it must be meaningful, and it must be something that is not known by many other people” (URI). Self-disclosure can be done for many reasons: to increase influence over others, to promote ourselves, or to strengthen a relationship (URI). =====

 Groups of people often won’t share personal things with peers they do not know very well, but with their closer friends they will often tell each other everything and confide in one another. Sometimes there are cases where self disclosure is inappropriately used. There may be cases where students may share very personal topics with people they do not know well or their teachers. =====
