- Strategic disclosure builds false intimacy
- Everyone calculates what to reveal when
- Vulnerability is always performed with audience
Disagree
- Genuine openness creates real connection
- This cynicism prevents actual intimacy
- Some people truly let guards down
- Trust requires risk without calculation
