Put into practice

 I believe so much in self disclosure. I first learnt about self disclosure in my communication class that i took last semester. It was really helpful though it was challenging for me disclosing myself to others even though i did not want to but i had to try. I had to risk being vulnerable and being judged when i disclosed myself. some people gave good and bad comments while some kept it to themselves.

To my own understanding of Self-disclosure that was discussed in my passed communication class is a process of communication by which one person reveals information about himself or herself to other individual. The information can be descriptive or evaluative, and can include thoughts, feelings, aspirations, goals, failures, successes, fears, and dreams, as well as one's likes, dislikes, and favorites. Being authentic is an individual mission, since each person has their own way of being human, and consequently what is authentic will be different for each individual. Furthermore, personal authenticity is highly contextual, and depends on various social, political, religious and cultural characteristics. But the unique nature of each individual is best seen not in who he is, but in who he becomes, and becoming authentic is a continuous process, not an event. It involves not just knowing oneself, but also recognizing others and the mutual influence between individuals. I would like to discover my authentic self. So i can know what i am.

I don't really know what to say or write because this is my first time writing on a blog. I will just say little that i can because i don't like to talk about myself a lot mainly because i don't have one particular attitude it changes all the time. Even my friends don't really know much about me if you ask them who am i? They will say what they think not what they really know about me. so i will refer back home to tell you my little tales.

Back home my mother is my all in all. I cherish her so much that i could do and undo for her. she is doing more than what some both parents can't do. what i know for sure is that she does not show any vulnerability. she is so calm and easy going. But for me i don't know for sure if i do or not. i will just put that aside. There was a time my mum was in a very critical condition and i could not do any thing but just keep chatting on my phone. But when i could not bear it anymore i had to go stay with her and console her making her feel good again. Though i felt i was not doing what i had to do but i tried my best. As a result i don't know if my little effort was worth it because there was no much improvement. But i think if i was vulnerable it would have made situations easier to deal with.

Nevertheless, with my little experience, i believe i need little vulnerability in my life. Referring back to what the woman said about vulnerability. Her view states that it is about been courageous, having compassion and having connection. But she talks more about dating and relationships. Finally, i really want to know what i am capable of, what i like doing and how i can put things in order.
