Improving Relationships
People's behavior is a direct reflection upon their values and ethics or the lack of either. People effect other people. The effects can be positive or negative. If behavior is positive, relationships become stronger. If behavior is negative, relationships are destroyed permanently. Behavior based upon good ethics and good values is the foundation for success, from any angle.
Self-awareness is the foundation on which self-development is built. A lack of self-awareness is destruction for any relationship. To change for the better, you absolutely must be totally aware of how you behave and how your behavior effects those who come in contact with you. Engaging in open, honest, deep soul wrenching conversations build a solid foundation for deeper, more trusting relationships. Without self-disclosure, there is no real trust.
Relationships are damaged beyond repair if there is never some self-disclosure.
Self-disclosure is allowing others to know who you really are, what they cannot see for themselves on the surface such as what your thoughts are, what you feel deeply about or what your needs are, your goals, your dreams and your deepest desires. Sharing yourself is necessary and essential to building lasting relationships.
On the flip side, you should not EVER rapidly overwhelm anyone with self-disclosure. Don't move too fast. Relationships evolve stronger when taken slowly. The fast, furious disclosure of yourself with extreme emotional or intimate information will most certainly distance you from other people. Your behavior may be felt as 'threatening' and cause people to run the other way.
