Do you ever tell too much?

When I was dating the man I eventually married, he was telling everybody who would listen basically everything he knew about me. I think he did that because he was so excited to be in this relationship.

Who could have guessed that one of his co-workers was insanely jealous of us, our happiness and our future plans to buy a house? Or that she would lash out in public?

It seems that as a long-time bachelor, he was the unofficial "Plan B" of several unhappily married women. He had no idea.

[SPECFRCE]

I have been extremely private since a small child and never really realized it until a classmate of two years pointed out he had never heard me speak of myself nor family. He didn't know I had siblings.

I have had an exceptional childhood however I preferred privacy not to mention I've seen how others bit the back of their so-called best friends (I've become observant and cautious) I wanted no part in that.

Once I've informed someone about a portion of my personal life and immediately felt like I shouldn't have. However if you develope really strong friendships this shouldn't be an issue.

[Serious Conversation]

I sometimes talk too much. I rarely get unprofessional or rude about things, but can be rather forceful when something isn't being addressed.

Sometimes, if people ask me about myself, I'll get mad but then I will tell them anyway.

I think that talking about my problems with people will somehow help me figure things out, but it never really works out that way.

I wish I could just keep quiet.

Anyone have some advice?

Sounds like over-sharing can be indicative of some kind of fear or anxiety.. you become an open-book to absolve yourself from the any negative judgment or feedback from others including your own self.

This makes good sense!
