"Social penetration refers to the process of relationship bonding whereby individuals move from superficial communication to more intimate communication." Self-disclosure refers to the process of revealing information about oneself to others.Nonintimate relationships typically progress to an intimate level because of self-disclosure. Self-disclosure can be either strategic (planned) or nonstrategic (spontaneous). This theory is quite common in everyday life, specially when you are meeting someone new. Many times I usually try to to reveal the basics about me; where I'm from, my age, what I study. But I've been in positions where I have met people who come to exceed the limit of confidence. For example, they ask personal or intimate things. I have also been in the situation where I meet someone and in a fraction of half an hour they reveal their life's from a to z. Revealing too much can cause also that in further situation you can become isolated because nobody would want to stay in touch with you.
