I once did an exercise with a group of "openly" positive women in the UK (there are only about 8 of them) and not one of them gave themselves more than an 8 out of 10 for openness…

Thanks MariJo for really deepening my understanding on this important issue. I noticed my perception of the 'purpose of disclosure' was limited and this posting met my need to know the deeper meaning of it. Thanks for that.
