So I was told that I share "everything" and it wasn't said to me in a good way. As in, I am too honest? Or as in TMI?? I wasn't sure, and to be honest I didn't really get a clear answer. But it makes me wonder, is there such a thing as too much sharing.
Of course, I am talking about relationship/dating interaction. I was always told that honesty is the best policy. But maybe I am wrong. Not necessarily to be dishonest but to be very lawyer like and only give the information that has been requested. Is that what makes successful relationships?? Is it true that anything other than the actual answer to a guy is just superfluous and therefore irrelevant. Or just annoying. I mean we all do annoying things. Don't we. Of course we do.
Or is it that this complete and unabashed openness is so contrary to what is the norm that it makes guys feel uncomfortable. And guys, we know, don't do uncomfortable well. I don't know. I think the lack of sleep may be interfering with my ability to discern this comment in proper context that it was given.
Or maybe it's just time to act like opposite George.

Well, you know that I'm an over-sharer. I'm trying really hard to cut back on that, but it's more difficult than I thought.
Kate, I know. Me too. It's easier said than done. I have managed to not overshare the first couple of dates, but this was like the 4th?? 3rd?? not too sure which one, but enough that I thought I was not.
I guess we just keep trying.
