Week Eleven Post 3: Relationship Disclosure

3) Pick one concept from the assigned reading, that we have no already discussed, that you found useful or interesting, and discuss it.

One topic I found interesting in chapter six was the concept of rules for disclosing. In this section the authors talk about relationships disclosure and offer certain guidelines such as how self-disclosure is not appropriate in all relationships. They suggest that a person should assess the level of the relationship before disclosing personal information. I think this is really good advice because sometimes people tend to get way to personal way to early in the relationship and that could be a turn off for the other person in the relationship. The author even mentions that this can sometimes put a burden on others when too much is disclosed.
