Overshare

Posted by Flying Free Now

Reasons we overshare after experiencing abuse:

• We feel we have to justify and defend who we are - our thoughts, our life, our choices, our feelings.
• We believe we are inherently unlikeable and we are trying to prove that we are really ok.
• We feel constantly misunderstood or that we cannot explain ourselves properly (due to gaslighting) so we overcompensate
• We believe when people get to know us they will reject us so we may as well get the inevitable out of the way.
