Thanks to social media, the boundary between public and private information is blurred. Sharing your confidential information and problems has become more socially acceptable.\u00a0Almost everyone has overshared at a point in their lives.\u00a0<\/p>\n

But oversharing is more than just being friendly. It is an attempt to reach out to others, looking for a sympathetic ear or words of advice.\u00a0Rather than making friends, oversharing can negatively affect our reputations and relationships.<\/p>\n

To manage chronic oversharing, you must first understand what it is and why you overshare so that it does not wreak havoc in your life.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Sharing stress, anxiety, and worries with others can help process complicated feelings. However, there are limits.\u00a0<\/p>\n

If you feel that you constantly overstep, it might be time to start limiting what you say and to whom. <\/p>\n

1. Limit Talking Time<\/h3>\n

One of the ways to curb oversharing is to self-limit your talking time. Only talk for a few minutes, then ask a question and listen attentively to the answer.\u00a0<\/p>\n

If you have ranted or even told an anecdote for more than five minutes, chances are that you are monopolizing the conversation.<\/p>\n

2. Think Before Speaking<\/h3>\n

Before you tell everything, ask yourself if you want to see the information in print. If the answer is no, it may not be appropriate for polite conversation.\u00a0<\/p>\n

However, this is where the level of intimacy in a relationship<\/a> affects the details of the conversation.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Another way is to count to ten after someone asks you a question or before you speak. It will allow you time to gather your thoughts<\/a> and filter out the details that should be kept confidential.<\/p>\n

3. Respect Boundaries\u00a0<\/h3>\n

Oversharing may be conscious or unconscious. Oversharers may not have the ability to sense a person’s boundaries. In some families, oversharing is the normal state.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Or someone may feel the need to share everything or shockingly intimate things to ensure they are heard.<\/p>\n

4. Don’t Brag<\/h3>\n

For those that overshare, there is a thin line between seeming accomplished and bragging. Knowing when to share may be difficult, especially if you have done and seen some impressive things.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

In these cases, self-awareness helps avoid oversharing in a braggadocious manner. While some people may be interested, not everyone needs to know you climbed Mt. Everest or play PGA-level golf.<\/p>\n

5. Learn to be Silent<\/h3>\n
