Week of 5/10-5/13

3). Pick one other concept in the book that you feel needs further discussion?

One concept that needs further discussion is the concept of "self-disclosure." Many people struggle with that concept, because it is hard to judge how a person will feel when we tell them something personal. Often we feel that we can tell that person anything that is on our minds, but sometimes we get a reaction from them that we were not expecting.

Often they will not return the favor of self-disclosing to us, and this makes us feel like we were cheated of their honesty. Perhaps if people knew how to best measure when and what to disclose, they would not struggle with this concept as much.
