One of the interesting was the expressive-protective dialectic. Finding a balance between what to share and what not to share is something that I can struggle with.
I like to think of myself as a non-judgmental person. I've been through and seen a lot in my life that lets me see how both sides of the coin can be. I find myself not judging people for whatever actions they do in their life. For this reason I have no problem with people confiding in me or telling me things that they would not normally tell others. I do the same, and sometimes I cross the line with people who I have just met or do not know very well. There have been several occasions where I find myself divulging information that you would think one would only tell their best friend of several years. My problem is not finding it awkward to talk to people or share experiences/ideas/whatever because I expect people to not judge me for my actions (unless I robbed a bank or something really morally wrong). This has backfired on my several times, however, and I notice that I tend to....scare people off by my openess. Just one more thing that I have to learn how to balance.
