oversharers
Too much information
Oversharers are people who reveal too much personal information, especially in contexts where such disclosure feels inappropriate or uncomfortable for listeners.
The term implies a lack of social awareness about boundaries—someone who tells coworkers about their digestive problems or posts intimate relationship details on social media: My aunt is one of those oversharers who tells strangers her whole medical history.
