Self-disclosure is vital in establishing a rapport towards a relationship or making a connection with other people.People usually reveal information about themselves for the purpose of making others feel comfortable or to encourage others to trust them or to open up.There are some, tends to disclose their personal achievements , to influence your opinion about them or to boost their ego. There are number of possible reasons why people volunteer personal information even to very stranger they meet.Whenever I hear a stranger volunteering an information about her/himself,I give a possible attention to what s/he is telling as carefully as I could.Maybe it is significant . ..or maybe not,maybe s/he just bullshitting, I’d thought…But usually, I’d listen carefully. It would be very interesting to meet a stranger who could tell me a very sensitive matter like she’s a recovering Psychotic or something,hehe
Me,personally disclose when I really like the person a lot,in return I get to learn about this person as well. Online,if I have to know more or like to know more about a particular person I’d write her an email and disclose a bit of myself,to get a bit connection with this person and it usually works well that way.But you see,there is a huge difference between being open in real life and being open virtually (online) especially in blogs.I know, it is none of my business but I don’t really see the need to brag personal infos into an online journal or does it?
