Self-Disclosure: A Vulnerability or a Strength?
A very close friend of mine visited my clinic and we went to a local café to spend some time together and had a heart-to-heart talk. After coming back to the clinic with him, I wanted his help in moving a heavy chair, and in response to that he told me that he had suffered from some kind of neuromuscular problem in his arms and won’t be able to do the moving.
On another occasion, a relative of mine visited my house and he won’t go upstairs to say hello to my mom. When I requested, he told me that he had some visual problems and won’t be steady on the stairs.
What both these friends did was perfectly normal, an avoidance of self-disclosure. It’s only normal not to share one’s health issues with others.
