#overshare

I either spill my guts out and overshare to the point where they can reference a specific childhood memory/trauma and write a ten page essay on how it affected my psychological development or say nothing and people forget who I am

Don't overshare. Everyone is not your friend.

i’m such a chronic oversharer it’s ridiculous

It's difficult being on the aroace spectrum while being surrounded by Christians. You would think they'd be chill with it, no sin of lust or whatever, but because it qualifies as part of the lgtbqia+ they get weird about it. When I came out to my parents they said things like 'we don't need a label for everything' and 'you'll probably change your mind in a few years'. They avoid it and try and ignore it. When I initially came out I was sex repulsed, but now I'm just not particularly interested in it but not opposed to it, and I don't know how they'd take that. It's frustrating living out my life not being able to just say "hey, I don't see people like that, I can recognise what other people see as desirable but I don't feel anything for it" without people getting all stingy about it.
