ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Preference revelation

Preference revelation means telling someone your true preferences or what you really like. Just like when you tell your mommy you want a chocolate ice cream instead of vanilla, you are revealing your preference. It's important to be honest about what you really like and don't like, so that people can give you what you want. In certain situations, people might not want to reveal their true preferences because they're afraid of being judged or rejected. But it's important to know that it's okay to like different things than other people, and it's better to be true to yourself and let people know what you really like.
