    List one family relationship, one friendship, and one romantic relationship in which you are or have been involved. For each of these relationships, list at least five self-disclosures you made to those individuals, and describe how each revelation advanced relational intimacy. Now list at least five self-disclosures you wish you had not made to each of these individuals. Did these inappropriate self-disclosures increase or decrease your intimacy? Reflect on these lists as you self-disclose in future relationships.
