    As proven with the social penetration theory, the exchange of information is reciprocal. Throughout the formation of our friendship, we had engaged in the sharing of information with each other and we had reached that point in our relationship where we seemed to hit a plateau in which personal things are shared and each one of us could predict the emotional reactions of one another. It can clearly be seen that by this point we had achieved social penetration. Hence, I could say I was successful in understanding and achieving my own example of the social penetration…

    The social penetration theory is actually a five part progression that starts with an orientation phase. In this phase there is generally small talk, and dialog socially appropriate, and very basic. Next, is the phase called the exploratory affective phase where we start to reveal a little more, we express our opinions about general subjects such as movies, music, art, or sports as casual friends. The third phase is the affective, we talk about private matters, share private information and opinions, a trust is being built, and some touching and maybe some kissing. Arguments can happen in this phase as well. The next step is the stable phase is where the relationship becomes comfortable, and is said to plateau, it is in this stage that the persons in the relationship can predict the others emotional reactions. Finally there is the depenetration phase, where there is a break down and personal information may not be being exchanged, it is the end of a relationship, usually because the benefits of the relationship no longer is outweigh the burden of it. It the theory itself, it is compared to peeling away the layers of an onion one by one, gradually getting to know the person bit by bot.…
