Joharis Window

Tannan: 

Tannan and I met in the beginning of February our senior year of highschool a little after valentine's day at a gas station Maverick. We started off with closed windows and as he continued to take me on dates and hangout more those windows were getting more open everyday. Revealing more about each other especially our hidden area. As time went we began to open up and using our trust and guidance as we gained along the way to decrease the size of our "hidden area". Sharing more of our thoughts and talking about dreams, fears and past mistakes. Being open to feedback and facing challenges together which made us grow so close. Its funny how he will point out my blind spot occasionally , things I don't notice I do but he quickly notices as well.  

gracie: 

Gracie and I met in 3rd grade at recess when I asked her to play 4 square with me and my friends. Being so close from elementary to freshmen in college, we have been through everything together including cheering for our jr high and high school. We've always been an open area relationship ever since the beginning we told each other everything and always went to each other for advice. In june after our senior trip we both moved to colleges. Im at weber state and gracie is at Utah valley, so a pretty far drive. Ever since then all of our windows have closed pretty quickly, we have directed towards a hidden relationship. Things happen in mine life and hers but only ourselves know because we have just grown apart as individuals and we both understand that, 

Justin: 

Justin is my father, I've known him for 18 years but he's only known me for a part of his life which is always a wide opener for me. Due to that Justin has some closed doors that I don't know about from his younger years but for me it isn't the case. He's my father, I tell him everything and go to him for advice or any problems. We have a good open relationship so I'm not scared to tell him anything because he's an understanding person. We have a strong open area but he moved away with my mom in 2024 so I don't see them as much and it has put a dent in our strong open area and is leading towards a hidden area because we don't live together and don't talk as much, only when we both have free time which is rare. He will always be apart of me life whether our windows are wide open or sealed shut. 

Conclusion 

Johari Window has shown me the deeper understanding of how self awareness and disclosure can strengthen my relationships with the people who matter most to me, like my boyfriend, my dad and my best friend. ive learned the importance of open communication and sharing more about myself and reducing the hidden area and being open to feedback is reducing the blind area and gives me a good understanding of how others see me. The Johari Window has helped me understand myself and also deepend mutual respect and closeness in my most important relationships.
