Um, in fact, the people that reveal the most wisely, the best revealers are the people that have the most disclosure flexibility.

What that means is they have the widest range.

They can go from total openness, baby with their spouse to like complete guardedness in like a high stakes negotiation.

So it really is about having the range.

Now,

That being said, yes, I think that I keep discovering more and more benefits of being a bit more open a lot of the time.

I think that we should have more tolerance and trust and empathy for people 100%.

And I also think that in a lot of situations, we should share more.

In fact, one very powerful way of building trust is actually to share, to reveal sensitive information literally builds trust.

Tracy, you're normal.

I bless you.

I love this.

It's such an important point.

In fact, I asked people, I did a little survey and I asked the nationally representative sample of 300 Americans recently, have you ever enjoyed keeping a secret?

And 49% said yes.

So about half of the people.

And I love keeping secrets too, but there's a difference, right?

There are different kinds of secrets.

And the secret that comes to mind when I hear, listen to Tracy was these secrets of like kind of these moments of shared understanding and mind meld.

Like for example, when my work husband, my bestie at work, we should kind of share the same sense of taste in ideas.
