Supposedly there's something called the internet disinhibition effect. I call it "I have no boundaries on the internet", or just a sharing addiction. I find it incredibly liberating and addicting talking about myself, feeling known in a way I just can't in real life. I know for a fact I say too much at times. There's a distance online, a hazy barrier that makes it easier to say just about anything.
Thanks for this!
