Self-disclosure is the act of sharing personal and intimate details about oneself with another person. When we trust our partner and feel confident and secure in our relationship, we are more likely to engage in self-disclosure, which can strengthen our relationship by promoting openness and vulnerability. Genderlect refers to the differences in communication styles between genders, emoticons are pictorial representations of facial expressions used to convey emotions in written communication, and hedge words are words or phrases that weaken the force of a statement (e.g. "kind of" or "sort of"). These concepts are not directly related to the ease of communication in a trusting relationship.
