Also known as Sharee, a Sharen is a Karen’s scary
oversharing cousin. She steals your time and the spotlight whenever she can, rambling on endlessly about nothing of importance. Sharens thrive in places like integration circles or breathwork classes, where everyone gets a brief moment to share. She takes advantage of this generosity because it’s the only place she can secure a captive audience – and once she starts, there’s no stopping her.
Sharens rarely make profound or enlightening statements. Instead, they unleash a stream of
nonsensical, self-indulgent monologues that leave everyone else in the group silently begging for mercy. You’ll often hear a Sharen say, “This will be my last long share,” only to return the next week with an even longer tale of confusion and madness.
Physically, a Sharen often fits the
stereotypical Karen
description (blonde, middle-aged, entitled vibe). She might even be a direct descendant of the Karen species – but while a Karen weaponizes entitlement, a Sharen weaponizes your patience. Not even a Karen dares to go against this over-sharin’ demon spawn.

two minutes so everyone has time.”
Sharen: “Okay, but real quick, I just need to process my morning and my childhood and the meaning of the universe and also my dog’s chakra blockage…”
