Some people like talking. A lot. Whether face-to-face or online, aka sharing, it seems like they never get bored of throwing out their opinions every now and then. And while thanks to freedom of speech, everyone is welcome to share what’s on their minds, that doesn’t mean it’s not annoying.
Well, there is a whole corner of Reddit dedicated to precisely these kinds of posts. “Nobody Asked” is the name of the community with 362k members and according to their description, it’s “a sub for people who were never asked and yet, still explained far too much.”
Below we wrapped up some of the most entertaining examples from it, so scroll down below, upvote your favorites and be sure to share our previous post with people too eager to share things nobody asked them.

Do You Even Lift?
Oversharing is described as an act of “revealing an inappropriate amount of detail about one’s personal life.” It can happen anywhere: at a party, at an office, at a class reunion, where you meet a person who you barely know and haven't got much in common with and you immediately delve into revealing very personal and detailed stories, often without realizing.
The internet is also a place where people feel tempted to overshare. It has become a problem on social media sites, especially ones which encourage you to bare all, like Facebook and Twitter, which ask you questions before you post a status which can invoke oversharing, such as “What’s happening?” or “What’s on your mind?”

We Really Don't Care
According to Carolyn Cole, licensed marriage and family therapist, when people overshare, they are often desiring very much to connect with someone. It turns out that anxiety can be a big driver among people who tell all, as well as feeling lonely and needing to connect with others. What’s more, oversharing is most often an unconscious act. Cole explained that "many times people don’t realize it until after the fact.”
In some cases, however, oversharers become aware of their behavior midway through the conversation. If that happens, they suddenly feel vulnerable or even ashamed for revealing too much information. In other cases, people can be aware of revealing too much the entire time that they are oversharing, but they may not see it as problematic.

Bar Review In My Hometown
Dr. Gary Brown, a relationship therapist in Los Angeles, adds that a person who overshares does not have a good internal censor. “In these cases, they may not have an ability to ‘read’ their audience; typically, they do not have a good sense of boundaries.” Moreover, if someone comes from a family of “talkers” where oversharing is the norm, they may continue acting upon this behavior in their daily lives.
“Or," he continues, "a person may do it out of feeling generally inadequate or if they’re a narcissist—they need to share everything that comes to mind to make sure they’re heard.”

Some Guy Replies To My Snapchat Story With This
However, He Is Not Too Busy To Leave A Comment To Harass An Internet Stranger For No Reason
Sounds like someone is insecure about there own intelligence and has resorted to something like that...
He clearly wanted to sound extra fancy to impress people, but honestly I’m not convinced
Load More Replies...It's basically that scene from Friends where Joey uses the thesaurus on the laptop to write his resume and it ends up being gibberish.
i love how he makes such an effort to make sure his grammar makes him sound intelligent, and then he makes typos
Some of them aren't even the right big words. I'm pretty sure the overstuffed "therapist" meant deduced, not deducted.
Load More Replies...OK here's me doing the very thing we are reading about. But I do find it interesting when people try to use a constant barrage of big words to convey their own intelligence. Like there is a huge difference between someone who is well-read/gifted/etc using big words vs someone trying to sound smart. In these latter cases, a fool can only fool other fools. They think they are getting away with it, but those with more wits can easily see thru them. so I often wonder why do they still pretend?
Cool, a "PhD" who thinks they can diagnose someone over the internet based on a single, two-sentence post. *eyeroll*
Wow, let me spew rude and abusive verbal garbage to make up for my sad, sorry and obviously lonely life.
Guy swallowed a dictionary but still has trouble joining words together to make a sentence
Well we are honored! The monopoly man wandered in, got hoidy toidy, and sauntered out adjusting his monocle.
At best, this chucklehead is a freshman at the local community college. Hope he takes a couple of English classes before he graduates.
Could the wording be much more pompous? Besides, you misspelled the relatively simple word "abusive".
I am now sad knowing I know someone exactly like this and just as smartassey
i do understand what he just said does he even know what he just said
I am looking through the Hubble telescope and I still can't find who ask
Is this sarcasm? I'm curious about the preceding texts that led to this.
there are a lot of trolls online people who want to correct your spelling and just in general try to make you look dumb and like they are educated and better than you
A PhD .. a PhD who doesn't know how to spell abusive and doesn't understand the difference between deduced and deducted. Where did this clown get his PhD? Trump University?

Surprised I didn't make the list lol. I often talk about random s**t and am a huge over sharer. Sorry not sorry lol.
Literally people in every single FB group when you ask for an advice on something. They will share their religion views and things they had for breakfast or plan to do on Saturday night, not hitting enter before they despise you for your stupid question and stupid existence..... Yes, and not helping you at all.
Haha. The title of this post IS the comment section on bored panda...so accurate
as someone with asd i think a lot of people over share without even realizing, myself included, normally due to neurodivergencies that are becoming more and more common
