I'm a *huge* oversharer. Just can't shut the fuck up. 

In the moment, I feel good about oversharing, but I always regret it afterwards. Being so open about my issues gives me a false sense of intimacy with other people, I feel like our bond becomes deeper and more meaningful. If we're close, they can't possibly abandon me.

Or so I thought.

I'm now realizing how mistaken I was, but I just don't know what to do about it. I feel like a 5 year old learning how to socialize all over again. 

So, how do I build strong friendships without making other people uncomfortable with how much I overshare? How do I know when to be open about something and when to keep my mouth shut?
