“We hear so much about the difficulties caused by those who cannot be intimate, who seem incapable of disclosing anything of what they genuinely feel, it can take time to register the opposite but no less grave problem: those who cannot keep enough of themselves to themselves, those whose hunger for closeness overwhelms their concern for their own safety, those who will, in a poignant bid to hold others’ attention, lay out - within minutes of a new encounter - secrets that they would have been wiser to take to the grave.
This isn’t to deny the fun that oversharers can bring to social life. These won’t be the types talking about the economic contraction or where they last went on holiday. Contact with other humans should be about getting to the marrow of things, they believe, which is why we will quickly get to hear about their ex’s sexual difficulty, the vicious row they had about their mother’s will, exactly how much they earn, the troubles they have with their digestion, their favourite bedroom position and the nature of an early childhood trauma…

@Thinker814 28 дней назад

I personally don’t believe in ‘oversharing’. It seems like this is a motivation to foster even more of an alienating society, full of shaming and surface level interactions that only benefit those who have no depth themselves. Who cares if you tell me about how lonely or depressed you are, despite us not having a close relationship? Who cares about what’s ‘appropriate’ to a sociopathic society that victim blames, isolates vulnerability and looks down on people who are open books. I’ve had countless of interactions with random strangers where they’ve told me their life story which would fit this concept of ‘oversharing’ presented in this video. Never did I walk away feeling like they’ve done something inappropriate. In fact I was glad that as a mature adult that’s gone through many difficult experiences, I was able to make them feel seen for a moment because this was never about me to begin with anyway. Of course it is important to pick the people you trust, but that’s about your chosen company, not the concept of how much you share.

@@JLakis I agree with you and think it is important to think of who you’re talking to first, however I came across so many examples and conversations that target the act of ‘oversharing’ itself and comes from a place of shame, rather than just saying ‘think twice about who you trust’. I feel like calling it selective sharing instead of oversharing would put a better message across.

@chrisblashill7265 28 дней назад

Exactly, in the video he refers to those "who's hunger for closeness overwhelms their concern for safety", implying there should be a fear in oversharing. I'm not worried about those who would try to use my openness against me. I am not ashamed of what shaped me, nor the struggles I endure. That which I have already embraced, and choose to share, can't be used against me. Perhaps I'm better at knowing to keep things to myself that could be damaging if shared, but I disagree with the notion that one must apply such a strategic framework to interpersonal connection.

@winterfawn2341 28 дней назад

It's hard when you have no family and have so much going on in life. It's hard when you have childhood trauma where you were neglected and or abused so you don't know what it's like to have a normal relationship with healthy boundaries. I write my thoughts down in what I call a prayer journal. Then I physically feel I've gotten the worries, anxieties and stress off my chest. So I don't overburden the few friends I have. ❤

@TheAaronJP 28 дней назад

As a psychologist, I'd argue that my clients find this the most difficult to change as many people easily fall into the extremes (either sharing everything or sharing nothing). There is unfortunately a need to engage in a lot of trial and error, but also a willingness to take risks. Unlearning unhelpful patterns from childhood can take a long time and hard work. However, growth is possible and sometimes we need a helping hand.

@@neonicetriggering other’s traumas that’s their problem 😂 Oversharing is just annoying because it’s self indulgent & gives a vibe of desperation. “Me me me me me”… often it’s not about sharing problems it’s trying too hard to convince “tell” someone why they should like you, when you should just show them through action & be patient. There’s an art to conversation, a rapport, & requires mutual interest. The fist step is to remember someone’s name when introduced before sharing anything. That alone is difficult.

‘One of those very rare characters who deserves to hear’ - that’s the part it took me years to realize. My father once told me that if I ended up with one or two truly close friends in life I’d be doing well. I thought he was exaggerating - that notion sounded very bleak. But he was right.

After 40+ years of meeting hundreds (if not thousands) of people, dating about 60(?) gals, working with folks, hiring some, firing others, etc. ... I can't say that more than 1% of them were truly exemplary human beings. Most were users, abusers, broken, narcissistic, obtuse, disdainful of those with proven experience, and often self-destructive to the point where their collateral damages affected FAR more than just them alone. It's been embarrassing to have to endure this for so long, but I finally realized that it was the STATUS QUO, not some bizarre anomaly or Twilight Zone situation, lol. 😂

@Oblivinym 28 дней назад

Recently instead of trying to not over share, (if you tell yourself not to do a thing, you just wanna do that thing more), I've decided to play a game where I do my best to LISTEN as much as possible. In other words, to replace my impulse to gab endlessly with a directive to do something positive, not just to censor myself. It's worked beautifully. And it's made me more aware of lots.

Maybe with a certain type of oversharing that's the main problem but, oversharing can harm others too. Like word vomiting traumatic experiences over & over and being in a constant circle of oversharing and apologizing. It's weird for the person listening & exhausting. It's not always that others use the information to hurt you. I've been on the listening end of people going through this phase, I've witnessed other people have this dynamic in relationships, and I've also been the one compulsively oversharing. Sure, ppl can use the info but, make no mistake, you are unwell in this phase and not seeing clearly, that's the main problem & needs action. So when ppl distance themselves from you, it's not necessarily bc they thought they were gonna harm you, it could be bc this is an exhausting dynamic and it's harming them.

@niaselah3348 27 дней назад

@@goldmidwest I mean that when we have dysfunctional experiences there's a process to going back to "normal". Example if you never had a home and had to spend all days for years on public spaces when you finally have a home of your own you may go through a phase of being a homebody. Society tends to see it as a personal flaw and permanent when actually it's a phase you need, time to meet a need that wasn't met for too long. Once that need feels met you naturally will want to go out more. We don't allow those processes bc we are constantly judging it and pushing bc everyone judges and pushes us A child that feels seen, heard and appreciated stops crying. Telling the child what's wrong with you or push them to stop crying or needing what they need doesn't work. It only creates more harm That's the approach society's narratives promote that we do to ourselves If you still have a need instead of judging yourself for it maybe focus on how would that part feel seen, heard and appreciated. And telling that part of you that it can take as long as it needs just like you would do with a child It's not about fixing or getting you to do something. Those attitudes created the harm. You are not a problem to be fixed. You deserve healing Edit: you are not overthinking for having valid questions. Some of us have more analytical brains or need to consider all scenarios due to trauma.

yeah… back when I had friends, I’m usually just the listener, and I only speak up when with my closest friends. But now that I don’t have friends anymore, I tend to accidentally overshare to random strangers I meet online. Most probably because I never felt like anyone ever listens to me, both then and now, and so I cannot resist the urge to finally speak about myself. But also because my years of semi-isolation has made me forget how to have a conversation with others. I know a lot of us here feel the same way and have similar experiences, so I just hope that you all are doing okay, or at least, doing better than yesterday ❤️

Every abuser always looks kind and welcoming at first to lure you into sharing your weaknesses, and they always pull the rug when you least expec it. The key to staying safe is fulfilling your needs by yourself and giving yourself the validation you desire. Anyone who tries to convince you otherwise simply cannot handle themselves and cannot even entertain the possibility of independence and being whole that they seek to pull others down into codependency along with them.

The reality is that you have to find people who like you for you, and not everyone is going to be that person for you. In the process of discovering these fellow souls, you're going to happen upon a LOT of people who don't vibe with you, and that's nobody's fault, not yours nor theirs, just as it isn't your fault if you don't like being around someone else. How you handle it matters way more than the fact that you're not clicking with them. There's no need to be rude. Direct and unambiguous, maybe, but it doesn't have to come to put-downs or shaming. Similarly, if you're in the position of being let down gently, accept it gracefully. There's no recovery, there's no "Maybe if I...", it's not happening. Accept the honesty from the other person and try again with someone else. It will always feel like it sucks that you're not clicking with certain people you may like, but we're not meant to be friends with everybody. We can be polite and friendly with strangers without inviting them into our inner circle. Everyone's inner circle is going to be small, and it's inevitable that we're not going to let the majority of people we know into that range of intimacy and familiarity. It doesn't mean there's something wrong with you or them, it's just a matter of diverging paths. What makes me kind of sad is seeing so many people taking rejection, even repeated rejection, as a metric of their self-worth, when there's often nothing wrong with the person, they're just trying to vibe and fit in with the wrong crowd. It happens. It's an inevitability of life. But what's sad is when people feel the need to radically change who they are when there wasn't anything wrong with them to begin with, just to "fit in" with a group of people who have made it evident and plain that they aren't accepting you for who you are. Do yourself a favor and embrace the reality that it simply isn't going to happen with certain people, but it will be a million times worth it once you do find your own group of people who do accept you for who you are.

Unfortunately relationships are a bit of a game that human minds must perform complex calculations to get right. We need to have a good idea if someone is going to hurt us, so we need them to share details about themselves so that we can judge them. If they refuse to share, they are distant and we avoid them. If they share too much, inevitably these honest feelings will ring alarm bells in our heads. They might admit some feeling that, even if we share that feeling, is a wrong thing to tell to someone you barely know. This person may tell my secrets to others, and they will judge me, so we avoid the oversharers. We are constantly looking out for people that both align with our own feelings, will not hurt us, and will not share our secrets with others, and that is a difficult combination of qualities to discover in a person, as they are also playing the same game. It's a risky game that we have no choice but to participate in, else be seen as distant.

@linkalipski 28 дней назад

I don't know why it's presented as if oversharers do not want to be perceived as boring. That might be true for some. Others may have ADHD and a hard time not being talkative, or they may have autism and don't know the societal or cultural taboos. Also, oversharing depends on culture: some topics are deemed inappropriate with strangers in one country but not another. There is a difference between oversharing as conceived by society and trauma dumping as well. Further, Many of us get insanely bored of small talk or the inability to discuss non-personal deep topics with others because of cultural discomforts such as politics, violence against women, everyday racism, etc. In turn, this can reduce options for conversations and push some people to either talk of themselves or let the conversation fall to silence. I venture that oversharers simply prefer the former. Not everyone is comfortable in awkward silence. Unfortunately, trauma dumping can be an unwanted outcome of past abuse. Under the disguise of "that way, I'll know straight away if they can handle me," they end up creating a relational imbalance where the other is forced into empathy or acting as a carer. The emotional drain on the receiver leads them to stay away as a protective measure. It is hard to teach the right pace of emotionally charged disclosures as people tend to find that to be intuitive and offer vague answers to those willing to learn. Emotional sharing should feel exponential and balanced. You share 5% about x, they share 5% about x, then after some time, 10% about y, and they share 10% about y..etc. If they don't share back, stop and wait. You can stay within the 5% and attempt to explore y and z to see. It's not that calculated in life, of course. Ideally, survivors of abuse would work on reducing trauma dumping as they re-learn trust and non-abusive relational dynamics, while non-survivors work on breaking societal taboos and improving caring responses to disclosures of abuse. 🤍

I think i tend to overshare because of growing up with a lack of connection with family, but also i am autistic and im not good at knowing where the boundaries are, and what is the appropriate level of openness in each situation. This has made me very vulnerable to narcissIstic people in the past, who have used and manipulated me . Its really helped me to learn (at 40) that healthy friendships or other close relationships develop slowly, and building trust and genuine connection takes time. So now when i meet a new person, and i like them , I think about just planting a seed of friendship. Being friendly, but still just talking about everyday things - nothing emotional. Then gradually we can see how it goes every time we meet, sharing a bit more and more over time. This also means that they cannot friendship-bomb me to force a connection , because they cant be all 'oh my god yes im exactly the same!' , if we've only talked about the weather and maybe our favourite biscuit.

I don't think that's oversharing. When in a romantic relationship we all have to take a leap of faith at some point. You decided to trust her, and that's bravery. The fact that she used it to mock you, speaks only about her. I know you will find someone worth of your trust very soon.

@@CeliaMaria-lo8cx exactly, all these people thinking opening up to partners or close friends is oversharing is so messed up, these are the MAIN people you should be able to open up to, the people you should be able to trust. Oversharing only counts if it's a stranger or someone you don't really know.

I often gravely overshare, infodump and traumadump, but weirdly enough none of what is shared in this video applies to my situation. I do not have these motivations, nor do I experience the results mentioned 🤷🏼‍♂️

@user-nm6dr4uy3d 27 дней назад

What counts as oversharing depends on the person and their boundaries. I have always been very private, so for me, oversharing could look different from someone else's oversharing. What matters is that you make a conscious decision about what you feel comfortable sharing.

I would argue that sharing deep and meaningful parts of ourselves is a sort of currency. I genuinely want to grow and nurture close relationships with others, so to open up a space for that, I'm usually willing to make the first move. I'll also be deep with someone to reciprocate their willingness to do so, as to not keep them feeling like they walked onto the end of a plank with nowhere to go. I'm sure there's a line, but don't let the fear of oversharing keep you from having the courage to express deep and meaningful parts of yourself.

sometimes i overshare to teach people a lesson through my experiences. but when they use that information against me, i thank them, because their character was exposed and i dont need to talk them again.

I must confess that I've never really met anybody like that... Or am I oversharing?

Risking with someone who seems genuinely kind and humble is worth it-even if they don’t always want it or receive it. Risking with someone because you think they already don’t like you or find you interesting enough-that’s when it’s stupid. Oversharing will not change someone’s mind, and it’s not for that. Genuine sharing is because you find value in someone for good reasons (not power struggles, or social hierarchy, or influence reasons), and not because you are trying to force someone to find value in you. It’s more about creating space for someone else to be vulnerable too, because you want to know them, than about getting attention for yourself.

The latest run of videos that address those who feel desperate for closeness have been interesting. For a long time, I've wondered what my relationships and relationships of close friends might be like if we were all a bit better at self-soothing. I am a quick intimate, and appreciate this reminder that not everybody deserves or needs to know the deeper sides of me, or certain feelings I struggle with.
