All the above points are good. But awkwardness is okay too. A little oversharing happens sometimes. Sometimes you can misjudge the strength of your connection and say something too intense. Don't beat yourself up. Everyone will most likely make it out alive.
Sometimes those risks you take in talking about something very personal or emotional pay off when you meet someone who really can engage with you at that level and they become a good friend.
You're just learning. Go easy on yourself. Embrace the awkward/dorky aspects of yourself. Lots of people find that kind of thing very endearing.
