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.

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.

Bar Review In My Hometown
Having received my junior school swimming (length) certificate, I felt compelled to comment on this, as if it was directly related to me.
Figured I should chip in here, having received my official Assistant Clown Certificate from circus camp at 5 years old and all.
Load More Replies...Being the regional track champion in 2002 when I was 14years old I felt like it would be only right to comment.
Well, I was in the spelling bee in the 4th grade and it got down to me and another girl and I jyst felt like he could've gotten better service.
Load More Replies...My wife is a Landscape Architect from UMASS/Amherst and why aren't there any ATM machines in Holiday Inn Express? The cookies they leave out are pretty good though.
Worked with a cocktailer exactly like this. Turns out he did cocaine almost every day.
As someone who achieved all my patches as a Brownie and successfully graduated from VBS (Vacation Bible School) 5 years in a row (5-10 1984-1991), I don't care about your ability to push a lawnmower.
I haven't thought of Vacation Bible school in years! I loved all the yearly themes and the gummy worms in the crumbled oreos that was supposed to resemble dirt.
Load More Replies...As someone who won an Easter bonnet competition three years in a row, my opinion matters here.
And I am the only person known to have been black-balled from The National Honor Society even though I had the second highest GPA in the school. Wait, this is supposed to be good things. It was! Long story...
As someone who has won the Xmas selection box challenge 3 years in a row i had to chime in. I feel offended
Being the recipient of the Felipe Ricci de Camargo Middle School 1992 poetry award for fifth graders, I must say I'm not impressed with that review.
Having won Clash of the County on radio Somerset I think he is an a**e wipe and probably draws crap houses with no sense of style.
As winner of both my 3rd and 8th grade spelling bees I would like to be included in this conversation.
You guys, it’s true. For some reason, landscape architect graduates from MSU all feel compelled to check out that bar. Science cannot explain this.
As a landscape technician I know a little bit about table service. I am in college and I do go to bars....
As a programmer in an obscure language, I thought the same.
Load More Replies...2/5 stars. The spelling was awesome. But the WORST written review. Another fine write-up from one of those MSU landscape architects.
What does bad service have to do with your business or where you went to school.
This goes to show you how people think their career or position in this world makes them think they are better than other people. As if the cashier is less than or less deserving than the CEO. No! No! No!
Asked 4 times in 20 minutes, at a bar?? Not to excessive imo, and obviously the latter is proof the schooling doesn't equate to intelligence
As a psychogy major and IUN i feel him mentioning his/her college and major is pointless
As someone who has read all of these comments I will add mine.

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
