Share personally on your own terms · D4.7

Set the scope of a personal disclosure

You are considering sharing something about yourself.

Everyday practice

Try these steps

1. Choose the purpose, person, and amount of detail that fit the setting.
2. State any privacy preference before sharing, recognizing that another person's confidentiality cannot be guaranteed.
3. Share only what you choose and stop if you want to.

An example

I can explain that I need a schedule adjustment without sharing the personal history behind it.

Reflect

Did sharing serve your purpose at a comfortable level of detail?

Next time

Use the person's response to guide future choices.
