It's easier for me to communicate via written word than verbal. All the emotions spill out of me when I verbally express myself and when I get nervous while talking I have a stutter and it's really hard for me to articulate verbally. Also, as a teenager I lashed out a lot and said some really horrible things, so now I'm afraid I'll be angry enough to lash out again. My thoughts are very angry and I feel like screaming sometimes...I haven't screamed at anyone since my teens but it's something I'm afraid of.

I tend to "talk a lot" but I wouldn't consider it oversharing...and when I mean "talk a lot" I mean it takes me a long time to share a story or make a point because I have difficulty saying the right words, but I wouldn't consider "talk a lot" to mean I share the most personal details of myself or say TMI...it just takes me longer to say something. And that bugs my parents. They don't want a roundabout story, just say what happens.

But my grandparents love hearing the long winded story and they love hearing about my day and how I feel and what's going on in my life. And when I talk to my grandparents, it's easier for me to express myself verbally and I am more relaxed. I never dread talking to my grandparents because they've been my cheerleaders throughout my journey at school and in my new home.

And my best friend is also open to the oversharing because she does the same thing too. It's what we do, we share our most innermost thoughts and we vent to each other about parental issues and dating woes. So for us it's natural to overshare.
