Oversharing Consequences

Oversharing The Hidden Dangers to Your Relationships

💣 “Oversharing Is a Wrecking Ball—Not a Warm Hug” | The Social Consequences Short Let’s get into Part 2: The Consequences of Oversharing. Because no—oversharing isn’t just “awkward.” It’s a straight-up wrecking ball to both your relationships and your self-esteem. 🧠 A 2019 study in the Journal of Social and Clinical Psychology found that 65% of people feel less close to someone who overshares. Think about that. You think you're bonding? They’re mentally checking the exits. We’ve all been there. Trapped in a conversation with someone pouring out every trauma they’ve ever known while you're trying to remember your own name. (And if you’re feeling that right now watching this video… that’s fair. I still love you. But I’m still recording—so get over it.) Here’s the real issue: When you're emotionally dysregulated—deep in your feels—you lose social awareness. You don’t notice that the person across from you is drowning in discomfort. You’re seeking connection… and accidentally pushing people away. That’s why having a tight inner circle is everything. These are the people who won’t run. The ones you’ve built real trust with. That’s who you overshare with. Not strangers. Not acquaintances. So pause. Reflect. Oversharing isn’t vulnerability—it’s unfiltered emotion without boundaries. And it can cost you more than you think.
