Chapter 4 continues...

The class continues, we learned more about the chapter "The self". We learned about self disclosure.  At first I thought that self disclosure was only revealing your own self, tell others about yourself. Then I only know that self disclosure is actually an act of telling others about things that they would not know about you. Self disclosure plays an important role of being true to yourself.

So after the lecture explained all about the basics things of self disclosure, we further it to the factors that will influence our self disclosure. There are 5 factors that will affect your self disclosure, firstly is who you are, your culture, your gender, your listeners, either in small groups or large groups, and lastly your topics and channels. The advantage you can get from self disclosure is that you can gain confident from it, other than that you will lose trust and confident if things goes wrong, you might even live with regrets. So that day during this lecture class I learn that self disclosure is very important and I learned that not to simply revealed my self too much to new friends.

So before the class ended the lecture gave us a little activity in the class, the chosen one will have to to tell each other about what they think about each other in front of everyone.
