Stetson University Communication and Self Disclosure Discussion

 

Need help with my Writing question – I’m studying for my class.

As we discussed on Monday, it’s crucial that we’re honest with ourselves when we engage in self-reflection and sometimes we need to be able to get things “off of our chest”. Self-Disclosure is a very important part in building successful relationships and, as we have learned, the depth and breadth of our disclosures usually takes time and trust. Sometimes, anonymity makes it easier for us to share deeply personal information or confessions since we don’t run the risk of encountering the person in real life. This is one reason why online self disclosure is so much different than with those to whom we are genuinely and intimately connected.

First, please take the time to watch this short Ted Talk by Frank Warren on his project called Post Secrets.

Next, think about this topic of self-disclosure as a whole and share a video clip or link to an article about some element of self-disclosure that resonates with you and explain why you chose it. You can use a scene from a favorite movie or show – or some other reference that illustrates what you’re talking about. Hope you enjoy this assignment and thinking about your self identity and illustrating how self disclosure is an important part of that process.
