So you know how this blog advocates that sharing is not caring? Because being true to you is a dangerous waste of time and attention? Actually, fuck that oversharing is great!

Why is oversharing great? Because you’re probably saying something important. It might seem like trivial bullshit and trite confusing nonsense, but it’s probably original. Right? Definitely unique to you though, you know?

Billie Eilish just doesn’t understand that feelings belong splashed all over the Internet (original interview here). Because expressing your feelings leads to content, and we all know content is king. Content like songs, videos, movies, artwork, and incredibly insightful “help-self” posts.

What about in real life? IRL as it were. Is it okay to overshare with friends and family? What about bosses and subordinates? What about strangers? Of course! Share anything with anyone at any time! What’s to stop you?

Then again some forms of expressing your feelings can have negative consequences. Like violence. That usually leads to lasting damage. Or screaming at people. Which is just words, yet still causes people to become emotionally defensive fortresses blocking out everything you say.

So maybe you’ve got to be tactical in sharing the feels. Think about what impact you want to have, and whether your methods of communication will hit the mark. Still, it’s important to remember that repression can cause you to bear the burden of your emotions all by yourself. Oversharing is like inviting people to a feelings party: you got to know what type of event you’re planning and what type of audience you truly want to be in attendance. And don’t forget you’ve got to be ready to clean everything up when all is said and done. Party on!
