Reasons for Chronic Oversharing
Chronic oversharing can happen due to various factors. One reason is the need to externalize problems or for emotional regulation, where individuals feel the urge to verbally express their thoughts and feelings to manage discomfort. Anxiety and neurodivergence, such as social anxiety and ADHD, can also contribute to oversharing, as impulsive and anxious behaviors can lead to lowered impulse control. Additionally, some individuals may have an intensity addiction, desiring fast and intense connections that oversharing can facilitate. Lastly, although not applicable to all cases, seeking attention and sympathy can be another reason for chronic oversharing.
