Does anyone else tend to over share with others? Telling personal details, things that are deep or serious or emotional. I think I do this as a way to create intimacy but it’s often too much, too soon. I think it puts people off from me sometimes and maybe even makes people uncomfortable sometimes. It gets even worse when I drink. I guess because my guard is down. 

It happened again last night. I drank for the first time in 3 months or so and I ended up over sharing with my cousins wife via text. I was dramatic in our conversation about a few other things which was cringey. Then I told her something very personal and serious. I felt so ashamed this morning when I woke up. It’s embarrassing because I know it’s not socially appropriate and that I was over the top in general. 

Does anyone else experience this? How do you stop or control it? How do you deal with the shame and embarrassment?
