Words you can keep
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.
Stop lecturing me, I don't let my friends see my butt hurt in public, you're the butt hurt one!

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 1: Hey, I forgot to take the trash out today, sorry dude.
Roommate 2: WHAT THE HELL, YOU KNOW HOW IMPORTANT THAT IS!!!
Roommate 1: I said sorry dude, I completely forgot.
Roommate 2: I DON'T WANT TO TALK ABOUT IT ANYMORE, LEAVE ME ALONE!!! (walks away)
Roommare 1: Geesh..that escalated quickly, I wish he would stop hectoring and just get over it.

tecturing 

When your parents think that sending you text messages is an effective means of behavioral control. i.e. "Text" + "Lecturing".
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.
