Does this ever happen to anyone ??

I swear I end up hating myself after …. When I finally have adult interaction I over share and then think damn I should’ve kept that to myself no one needs to know that kinda feeling it’s horrible I’ve lost myself in mother hood that I forgot how to talk to other adults

Yup. You are not the only one. I'm very open, naturally. I feel like I always over share.

Same!!

Girl, it happens to us all lol don’t feel bad! I was so socially awkward after my first, I would stutter and just make no sense half the time 😂

@Kate I’m like wth did I say that for 🤦🏻‍♀️

It’s like I’m so excited to talk to someone else that I just start saying too much all at once and then I’m like ok I’m talking way too much and over sharing 🤦🏻‍♀️

Never hate yourself for being genuine ✨️

Very hard too with not having mommy friends right now the ppl I know are in different paths in life so we don’t relate I’m trying to find some mommy friends its very lonely at times being a sahm

Same

I’m not an over sharer but I like when others overshare. It cures my social awkwardness! I end up feeling so much more comfortable.

Same, I think this is why I’ve test to make mom friends in my area. I’m just so nervous about over sharing or being awkward 😅

We’ve all been there don’t worry.

Same 😩💛

We are not responsible for how the conversation goes, it's a two person improvisation. Yes interested people are interesting but asking questions will only get so far, revealing something about ourselves is part of making a connection. I think as moms we just know how awkward and messy life is at the core and we can speak to a more inner layer of another person. Something about the person made you feel comfortable in the moment, you never know what it will lead it if you see this person again.

Oh girl I LOVE a good over share. Like I get so bored with talking about superficial stuff. Let’s talk pet peeves, trauma, goals, everything!

@Lainie I wish I could have a friend that also over shared not just me because then it get awkward sometimes 😅

It actually takes about a week to emotionally recover from socializing anymore. I think I’m broken 😞

Being an older mum I've probably had more life experience than someone who is younger but I don't like going on about my past troubles. I'm happy to offer advice

Girrrl same , i over share, i stutter, forget certain words . Like my brain is fried 😭

I'm an over sharer, but so are the people I share to so it's a mutual thing 😂 they know things they shouldn't and won't repeat and so do I. Its a whole different level of trust for you and them, there's nothing wrong with that.

Yes this happens to me too. Sometimes I even try to like anticipate conversations a little. Thinking it may be easier to stick to a specific topic.

@Ethel awe no we are just adjusting the mom life … I went from having lots of friends coming over and having kick backs and working where I would socialize a lot with coworkers to being a sahm and having a job from home I don’t do a lot of socializing from this job I also lost all my friends because I couldn’t keep up with them now that I have 2 babies to take care of but that part I wouldn’t change I just have to find mommy friends that understand and also someone I can do play dates with

Literally me my whole life 😪

@Anita some do and others make a face and then I feel like I shouldn’t be open 🥲

Yes! I’ve realized it happens when I’m nervous, I just have verbal diarrhea . I find i have to slow my brain down, my thinking down, and realize I don’t have to fill every single silence. It’s not just my job to keep the convo flowing.

I always over share and then feel dumb about it later. like wooow, they must think I'm unstable now 😂😅

@Jen yessss!! I feel that 100% I’m just thinking what else should we talk about it I don’t want to bore this person but end up saying too much and I regret it
