Maybe you were getting uncomfortable with the prolonged silence or you were trying to connect with them.
And while this is true, there is also such a thing as oversharing.
“Oversharing is not vulnerability.
It can leave you feeling empty and lonelier than before.
But this isn’t reserved for romantic unions alone.
With vulnerability, the sharing feels authentic and freeing.
You open up because you feel a genuine desire to do so.
There is no underlying intention behind it.
And this is what leads to true intimacy.
Ask yourself some important questions.
What am I hoping to achieve by sharing this information?
Will I be hurt if the other person doesn’t respond in the way I’m expecting them to?
Am I just trying to fill the uncomfortable silence by saying this?
Getting a feel for this distinction before you share something could be helpful too.
There is nothing wrong with desiring deeper connection in your relationships.
Not with an underlying intention.
