How To Be Authentic Without Oversharing
Have you ever seen someone on Facebook or Twitter or whatever social media channel detail their entire divorce or break-up for the world to see? He said/She said.
Or do you know someone who only talks about how horrible their life is going? Every time you meet up with them, it's like, "I wonder what shitty thing they're going through today?"
I was thinking about oversharing the other day while working on my new eBook, "A Brutally Honest Dating Guide." I was writing the Chapter on How To Have A Great Date and going into detail about being authentic. Then it hit me, "How can someone be authentic enough without sharing their life story and scaring the shit out of the other person?"
There’s a fine balance between under and oversharing.
You don’t want the other person to come out of the date not knowing a single thing about you. If you give short, generic responses, the other person may think you’ve got something to hide, that you’re closed off and untrusting of others. They won’t want to share with you, and you can’t build trust with them. You need to show your personality and provide enough substance for them to be interested in you.
If you give too much, it can alienate the other person and make them feel uncomfortable with the amount of private information you’re revealing to them.
So how do you be authentic without oversharing? Tag someone who can relate to this
