Why Revealing Personal Information Is Safe

Some teens have no problem with revealing personal information. Then there are those who quake in fear, going through a laundry list of what-if’s that all end in their own personal disaster story. Maybe the person you are talking to will not like you if you talk about yourself. Maybe you think the other person will laugh at you when you tell him about your hobbies.

Teens who worry about these things may just be very accomplished worriers. They might, however, just be speaking from experience. Perhaps they are picked on in high school or had someone politely insult their choice in hobbies, sports, or movies. Regardless of the reason, they now approach conversations guardedly. You cannot really blame them. Who wants to talk to someone only to be rejected or laughed at?

If you are one of these people, there is one thing you should consider: don’t let bullies get you down. You will be talking with adults, and by now it should not matter whether you know what the latest fashion is or whether you can hit a three-point shot.

More importantly, you have to reveal some personal information eventually. If you do not, you are on the road to being isolated and lonely. If you have any friends at all you have to let them see the real you at some point. Not sharing personal information indicates a lack of trust in other people, so think of it this way: The people you are talking to felt good enough about you to reveal some of their personal information to you, so why not return the favor?
