oversharing
Excessive personal disclosure
Oversharing is revealing too much personal information, especially in contexts where it's unwelcome or inappropriate: She overshared about her divorce on the first date.
The term emerged with social media, where broadcasting intimate details to wide audiences became easy.
What counts as oversharing depends on the relationship and setting—telling a stranger your medical history differs from telling a close friend.
