oversharing 

Oversharing is when you don't have the emotional stability required to rationalize and reassure yourself so you give the mental charge to do so to an acquaintance without his or her consent, resulting in trespassing her or his personal mental space. Oversharing is recurrent in individuals who suffer from anxiety disorder and other mental illnesses.
- I feel comfortable around you and it's pretty rare since last summer when I tried to kill myself
