We may think we're giving people a door to our soul, when it's really more like a peephole. When someone shares something, reciprocate by sharing about yourself. Take calculated risks. Share a balance of positive and negative information. And remember, even the closest relationships aren't characterized by a constant exchange of intimate details.
Most talk is about everyday stuff.
