Some people like talking. A lot. Whether face-to-face or online, aka sharing, it seems like they never get bored of throwing out their opinions every now and then. And while thanks to freedom of speech, everyone is welcome to share what’s on their minds, that doesn’t mean it’s not annoying.
Well, there is a whole corner of Reddit dedicated to precisely these kinds of posts. “Nobody Asked” is the name of the community with 362k members and according to their description, it’s “a sub for people who were never asked and yet, still explained far too much.”
Below we wrapped up some of the most entertaining examples from it, so scroll down below, upvote your favorites and be sure to share our previous post with people too eager to share things nobody asked them.

Do You Even Lift?
Oversharing is described as an act of “revealing an inappropriate amount of detail about one’s personal life.” It can happen anywhere: at a party, at an office, at a class reunion, where you meet a person who you barely know and haven't got much in common with and you immediately delve into revealing very personal and detailed stories, often without realizing.
The internet is also a place where people feel tempted to overshare. It has become a problem on social media sites, especially ones which encourage you to bare all, like Facebook and Twitter, which ask you questions before you post a status which can invoke oversharing, such as “What’s happening?” or “What’s on your mind?”

We Really Don't Care
According to Carolyn Cole, licensed marriage and family therapist, when people overshare, they are often desiring very much to connect with someone. It turns out that anxiety can be a big driver among people who tell all, as well as feeling lonely and needing to connect with others. What’s more, oversharing is most often an unconscious act. Cole explained that "many times people don’t realize it until after the fact.”
In some cases, however, oversharers become aware of their behavior midway through the conversation. If that happens, they suddenly feel vulnerable or even ashamed for revealing too much information. In other cases, people can be aware of revealing too much the entire time that they are oversharing, but they may not see it as problematic.
9 Years
Wow, bet he's got a circle of friends the size of a lifesaver but still thinks everyone loves him.
Stopping smoking is difficult in 3s. The first three days, the first three weeks, the first three months.. etc.
It’s been years but every time I see someone smoke on tv I get a craving.

Don’t listen to them! You are doing amazing and they are entitled, big headed and a pig!
Unfortunately, to some people everything is a competition 😕

This b***h ass struggles every day. He just hopes its as hard for someone else.
I've been cigarette free for 14 years, but I don't go around belittling people for it.
Ok a lot of this post is just super weird gate keeping and exactly why I hate people.
It a great start the first month is the worst it’s plain sailing after that.
Sounds like 9 years without an AA sponsor because your attitude makes you sound like a dry drunk, which is even more obnoxious.
Oh I hate people like that. When I off cigarettes for 2 weeks my brother also said "ah well only 2 weeks". At Christmas my uncle said He stopped smoking 3 weeks ago but its only 3 weeks and I congratulated hlm because that is such a good step! I am now at slightly over a year smoke free and I will celebrate as much as I want, as well as anyone else should x
You have to be extremely insecure or just plain hateful to speak to another person like this. Why on earth are some folks hell bent on pushing others down and making them feel less than? I just don't understand it.
Don't diminish someone's personal achievement. One month just means they just started, putting someone down like makes it feel like it's not enough. I told my sister in law I quit drinking 2 months ago and she just responded by saying she's been sober for 4 years. Good for you!
I quit a long time ago. Substitute? Gummie bears. Bags and bags and bags.
Cigarettes are like alcohol: a lifelong struggle when you're addicted. So come back to brag once you die a non-smoker.
A single day of abstinence from an addiction is a victory. A victory that doesn't need to live up to anyone else's standards.

Bar Review In My Hometown
Dr. Gary Brown, a relationship therapist in Los Angeles, adds that a person who overshares does not have a good internal censor. “In these cases, they may not have an ability to ‘read’ their audience; typically, they do not have a good sense of boundaries.” Moreover, if someone comes from a family of “talkers” where oversharing is the norm, they may continue acting upon this behavior in their daily lives.
“Or," he continues, "a person may do it out of feeling generally inadequate or if they’re a narcissist—they need to share everything that comes to mind to make sure they’re heard.”

Surprised I didn't make the list lol. I often talk about random s**t and am a huge over sharer. Sorry not sorry lol.
Literally people in every single FB group when you ask for an advice on something. They will share their religion views and things they had for breakfast or plan to do on Saturday night, not hitting enter before they despise you for your stupid question and stupid existence..... Yes, and not helping you at all.
Haha. The title of this post IS the comment section on bored panda...so accurate
as someone with asd i think a lot of people over share without even realizing, myself included, normally due to neurodivergencies that are becoming more and more common
