Story Overshared to Coworker

[Lamentice]

I just overshared about my childhood to a coworker and immediately realized after saying it and am now in the bathroom trying to re-regulate myself out of intense humiliation. I'm supposed to know how and when to shut up at this point, time & place and all that, and coworkers aren't my friends, but when the majority of your life experiences to pull from and share are all disturbing and weird then there's just no winning.

I just want to be away from people and out of this goddamn place forever. Holy shit.

They also said they're not phased often but every time I tell them something it's always some of the wildest shit and I just realized that I'm strange to this person, and I'm just embarassed and feel alienated. I always believe I'm diluting it enough and then someone points out that I'm fucking bizzare I guess.

easy there. im not sure what your childhood is. co workers can be words but most will never be that.

but just think about yourself for now. dont focus on what happend but think about to move forward.

dont let your emotion take control

a big fat hug for you

Don't ever share such information with coworkers. They gossip like crazy. There's also competition among your peers at work, and they won't hesitate to use anything against you if they need to in the future.

Best to be as neutral as you can at work.

Absolutely true, and I should know this, gotta recenter myself and remember that.
