It may also be a reaction by others as to how your behavior is affecting or influencing them (receiving feedback). Feedback can be verbal or nonverbal.

A model known as the Johari Window illustrates the process of giving and receiving feedback. The two columns represent the self; the two rows represent the group. Column one contains "things that I know about myself;" column two contains "things that I do not know about myself." The information in these rows and columns moves from one pane to another as the level of mutual trust and the exchange of feedback varies in the group. As a consequence of this movement, the size and shape of the panes within the window will vary.
In other words, you want to move the vertical line to the right in the window. The size of the Arena and Facade panes will increase as the size of the Blind Spot and Unknown panes decreases. The Blind Spot contains information the group knows about you, but you do not know. The only way you can learn this information is to seek feedback from the group. If you solicit feedback consistently and remain receptive to that feedback, the size of your Blind Spot will decrease. Suppose you decide to reduce the Facade pane, i.e., move the horizontal line down. This window contains information you have hidden from the group. You can reduce the size of this window by telling the group or group members about your perceptions, feelings, and opinions about things in others and yourself. This feedback tells the group exactly where you stand; they no longer need to guess about the meaning of your actions.

You can reduce the size of this window by telling the group or group members about your perceptions, feelings, and opinions about things in others and yourself. This feedback tells the group exactly where you stand; they no longer need to guess about the meaning of your actions. As you disclose more information about yourself, you decrease the size of your Facade pane Arena increases because of your increased trust level in the group. The large Arena suggests that much of your behavior is open to your group members. Because of your openness, other group members do not need to interpret (or misinterpret) or project more personal meanings into your behavior. They understand your actions and words, and they know you are open to soliciting and giving feedback. You do not need a large Arena with everyone. Your casual acquaintances may see this kind of openness as threatening or inappropriate because of the relationship you have with them. The more open you are in dealing with others, the fewer games you play in relationships.
This Johari Window model diagram is an example of a member of a new team or a person who is new to an existing team. The open free region is small because others know little about the new person. Similarly the blind area is small because others know little about the new person. The hidden or avoided issues and feelings are a relatively large area. In this particular example the unknown area is the largest, which might be because the person is young, or lacking in self-knowledge or belief.
This Johari Window model diagram is an example of an established member of a team. The open free region is large because others know a lot about the person that the person also knows. Through the processes of disclosure and receiving feedback the open area has expanded and at the same time reduced the sizes of the hidden, blind and unknown areas.
There is always a different window vis-à-vis any other person of the group; some people might share their secrets while others don’t. But there are always some parts of the individual public area known to all (e.g. contributions made in plenary). The relationship between A and B seems to be very open and hearty whereas B closes down vis-à-vis C. The latter seems to be an open character. Person A also seems to have reservations vis-à-vis C as can be shown from the rather small interpersonal public area. It may happen so, that the unknown area between B and C is known to Person A! How this? Person A may have been a witness of a talk between two other group members gossiping about B and C, or he may have some information from others who intend to approach B and C in an important matter during the next time; this is unknown to both B and C. This unknown area can only be overcome if people talk about it! Sharing (feedback) means giving the other one a chance to comprehend, to prepare and to learn about oneself in order to do better!
