A friend asked me, completely casually, “Do you think I overshare?”
I paused for maybe half a second too long.
She noticed and said, “That pause answered my question, didn’t it?”
I tried to soften it by saying, “Not always! Just sometimes! Like… contextually!” which did not help. At all.
She asked for examples. I panicked and gave one. Then another. Each one made the situation worse. By the end, she was staring at me like she’d just unlocked a new insecurity.
She laughed it off and said it was fine, but later that night she texted me asking if she talked too much in general. I tried reassuring her, but the damage was already done.
Now every time she tells a story, she stops midway and asks, “Is this too much?”
It is never too much. Except that one time. Which I should’ve kept to myself.
TL;DR: Answered a friend’s question too honestly and permanently altered her self-awareness.
