The Painful Compulsion to Overshare: Why We Rush to Reveal Everything and How to Build Genuine Safety
Published 4 months ago
Description
Oversharing can feel like a fast lane to intimacy, but it often backfires—creating brief connection followed by shame, regret, or a brittle vulnerability. People who overshare usually do so from a place of unmet emotional need: because they lacked reciprocal exchange earlier in life, they now shortcut trust by unloading everything too soon. Real, lasting closeness requires pacing: small disclosures that earn and build mutual safety, not a flood of private details that leaves you exposed. Practicing discretion isn’t coldness—it's self-protection and the scaffolding for deeper, steadier trust.
