Ever reveal too much?

Post Reply New Topic

I understand you because I'm almost in the same situation at the moment. Two girls working in the office before I had come joined their efforts to make me resign. I even wrote here to ask for help from Aspies who could probably had experienced that, and their advices helped me of course, but still I decided to go on vacation and to fix my nerves, and then to resign all the same...
No money is worth health - that's what I concluded. And more than only me in one room is also a terrible thing

Yes, I do it. It's like a line is crossed, and then you think, what the heck, I'll just keep going!

I think it's an AS thing, because I have the exact same problem. I've said way too much online but have managed to mostly keep my real name and address, etc off of the net (by some miracle). However, I have said far more about myself here and in other forums than I ever intended. I'm allright at keeping secrets these days, but when I was younger? No way. I couldn't keep my mouth shut if my life depended on it. I've learned to control myself to some degree and kee from blurting things out. There are times, though, when I KNOW I need to keep things I've heard to myself but find myself slipping the information out anyway somewhere online or in email. I catch myself, though, and I ether delete the email or post before I send, or if it's in a post I can edit, I go back and wipe it out.

I was rather open as a child. Eventually I started noticing that people didn't like it so I made mental filters and ran everything threw them. Still have a lot of filters but slowly trying to get rid of some cause I'm not open enough.

It really is good to know that there are so many others that do the same things as I do. I haven't been diagnosed with AS but so many things in my life are pointing towards it. It would be so nice, just to know I wasn't alone in this.

I don't tend to ramble much (anymore) but if a direct question is asked, I tend to answer it even if it was supposed to be rhetorical. This has led to several cases of people claiming "TMI! TMI!" and I've left it up to them to start asking appropriate questions. Though when in a work environment I'm kinda in an alert state and run everything through a filter first just in case.

I used to do this all the time...as I got older, I learned to control it and now I am fairly discreet.

Yeah I tend to do this, since starting my own business I have learnt ot keep my mouth shut. It is an aspie thing. my partner works with aspie kids at school (hence my DX cos I was relating to the kids behaviour when she debriefed at home) they do it all the time.javascript:emoticon(':)')
