I have this compulsion too. It sucks. And yeah my dad has poor judgment on appropriate topics as well. Guilt or omission particularly compel me to reveal. I avoid lying for this very reason.
My therapist drew this layered circle and put people in each layer as a guide on how close people really are but I still find it very challenging to determine what is appropriate to share. I'm almost always lost when something I have said offends someone. Sigh.
