SELF-DISCLOSURE:
Learning to gently reveal who we are is how we open
ourselves up to love and intimacy in our relationships.
Many of us have hidden under a protective shell, a
casing that prevents others from seeing or hurting us.
We do not want others to see who we really are.
We may be afraid they might judge us, go away, or
not like us.
Being vulnerable can be frightening, especially if we
have lived with people who abused, mistreated,
manipulated, or did not appreciate us.
Little by little, we learn to take the risk of revealing
ourselves. We pick safe people, and we begin to disclose
bits and pieces about ourselves.
Sometimes, out of fear, we may withhold, thinking that
will help the relationship or will help others like us more.
That does not mean we tell all to everyone at once. That
can be a self-defeating behavior too.
To trust that people will love and like us if we are exactly
who we are is frightening. But it is the only way we can
achieve what we want in relationships.
