A self disclosure that I would tell a friend but not a family member is my dirty fetish.  I would tell my friend because we talk about everything and the conversation would not be strange to talk about between the  two of us.  On the other hand I would not dare disclose my dirty fetish  to a family member because they would look at me weird and tell everyone else in the family about my strange fetishes.  Some of my family members would disown me if they knew that side of me.
