Most people really don’t care, although sharing positive stuff like weddings and graduations isn’t as bad as negative stuff. Overall, I agree that even professional relationships aren’t as solid as they seem.

I’ve always believed in that old adage, “Don’t mix business with pleasure”.
I once had a hairdresser I went to for 27 years but then she retired and moved back East. She was a confidante and she shared some personal stuff with me as well. It was unique in that sense and the exception to not mixing business. Besides I didn’t socialize with her outside the salon. She was like a big sister.
I too cringe at oversharing between coworkers or boss and employee. Or client and customer. In other words I have boundaries whether they like it or not. Even in court you can plead the Fifth Amendment lol. The only thing I missed was he’s two years younger than me and it was great to talk to someone in my generation. There’s no one else and the people at the senior center are much older than me. And as a result they patronize me.
