S3 E18 The Perils of Oversharing Have you ever heard someone sharing a grievance, or in a social media post in which they indulge themselves in their own pity party? If you’re ever left feeling like you need to take a shower after reading or listening to this kind of share, chances are the person sharing crossed a line and veered from “being open, vulnerable and transparent” (all admirable qualities) into being manipulative and self indulgent. And how do you know where is the line? How do you know when you think you’re being “open and vulnerable” and you feel like you need to “get it all out”, that you’ve crossed a line and you end up covertly manipulating your listener for sympathy or attention? This is the subject of this week’s episode. Many times, we get so caught up in airing our points of view, sharing our feelings, being right about how bad someone else is or how admirably we handled a difficult situation, we fail to notice the impact we’re having on the people around us. Know where and when it’s appropriate to “spill your guts” and how much of your journey others really want to know. Join as we dive into a discussion on “the perils and pitfalls of self-development” and learn how to come back from the brink of becoming self-indulgent.
