Lecturing
Being open and sharing becomes lecturing when you're talking to somebody who wasn't looking for your level of openness, which seems like hypocrisy. Like everyone else, the person you're told you're lecturing is a hypocrite too.

hectoring
When someone lashes and is more grouchy than happy for the smallest of things, a person who is hectoring usually shuts themselves off from the outside world after having a rant or tantrum. The Act of hectoring is also how quickly a person can get upset and how abruptly their tone of voice goes from calm to angry in a matter of seconds.

Roommate 2: WHAT THE HELL, YOU KNOW HOW IMPORTANT THAT IS!!!

1. Even if I make no mention of going out on Saturday night, my mom always tectures me on the dangers of date rape drugs and having sex with strangers around 9:00 p.m.
2. My dad was tecturing me earlier about how I should think before I mindlessly text people after reading some stuff that I had sent my mom while she was napping, and I responded by saying, "And this is why I never want to talk to you."
3. Advice Dog is so annoying when he tectures me about remembering to take my LSD every morning. It's a good idea that I never pay attention to people who tecture me.

TLDU
Sister: This meeting was to discuss the rough draft of my essay, where we discussed the subsidiary questions I added in my rough draft. We also discussed the relationship between my main title and the real-life situations I chose to use in my essay. We discussed the structure of my essay as well, specifically the Math AOK section and how it relates to the contradiction of the title. This second meeting was particularly helpful in discussing the implications of my essay claims and how to apply the title across various areas of knowledge. There were many sections of the essay that could have been cut down in wordiness and the ways of knowing required further and more in-depth analysis.
Me: Woah! TLDU!
