The Impact of Oversharing on Relationships

Oversharing can significantly hinder the development of a romantic relationship by providing too much personal information too soon. This behavior often manifests as discussing insecurities or past traumas with someone who hasn’t yet earned that level of intimacy. For instance, revealing deep-seated fears, such as feelings about one's height, too early can overwhelm the other person and set an uncomfortable tone. Ultimately, this leads to a perception of a lack of boundaries, causing potential partners to withdraw rather than develop a meaningful connection.
