In class last night, we were discussing self-disclosure and all the different aspects to it. It's quite an interesting topic, and I'm pretty sure most of you who have online journals can relate to it. Self-disclosure is basically sharing yourself with other people, thus, making your hidden self (according to the Johari Window) "smaller".

Journals (public ones, anyway) are the epitome of self-disclosure, I think. Sometimes, I worry that I put my life out for people to read. I'm not saying that I put all of me into my LJ or my Blurty, but still. One of my friends, in a birthday card she gave me, wrote that I have my life online. One day, I should be worried about it, she says.

I self-disclose too much sometimes.
