If you tell ppl everything, they then feel entitled to know more, give their 2 cents, or judge you, & I've even had friends act like I MUST overshare bc they did, as if it's an obligation. Keeping your circle small isn't a bad thing, just less complicated, & you can be picky - as you said, we owe no one anything!

[@emilyantonia197]

I’ve been guilty of this. I remember oversharing because I felt I could make a more genuine connection because I was being “real.” When I didn’t get the same sharing back I felt embarrassed, I resented people when they weren’t willing to tell me about themselves in the way I did for them. Even though I would feel really uncomfortable and vulnerable when I overshared I felt it was still better than being cold and closed off. This ended up with me completely isolating myself because I couldn’t handle the emotional exertion that came with sharing myself with others. I guess it’s about balance, not feeling that you need to offer every part of yourself or avoid the relationship completely, but taking the time to feel out what is comfortable for you and the person you’re with.

[@KellyStamps]

It is indeed about balance!

[@autumnshennae0687]

[@Yana-tf1he]

I definitely relate to that I am open to tell you anything and beyond since I’m hopeful of hearing it back and discovering new interesting lives and perspectives I think I will continue to share and if the person doesn’t share back I will also not do it, because sharing makes me feel better it makes me excited and it’s exciting hearing others. Of course, there are boundaries like work or total strangers you shouldn’t share to, but overall total privacy seems suffocating and lonely, to me

I used to work with someone who would always ask me and others on Monday what we did over the weekend. A seemingly harmless and normal Monday morning question but there was always this sense that if answered with any kind of detail you’d be mocked for it. It was her “way.” She didn’t think she was doing anything mean-spirited it was just her annoying and immature way of relating to people. When I started withholding details and would leave it at “not much, kinda quiet” it would get turned around into “Ha! You never left your apartment, right?” As if an occasional weekend hibernating and relaxing in your NYC apartment was the worse thing ever. You would think that when we grow up and leave high school and college and become adults in the real world we’d leave a lot of the childish adolescent ways of relating to other people behind but some people make them a way of life.

And something we all need to face is that there are people out there who just don't want good things for us...whether those people even realize it or not.
