This isn't to deny the fun that over-sharers can bring to social life. These won't be the types talking about the economic contraction or where they last went on holiday. Contact with other humans should be about getting to the marrow of things they believe, which is why we will quickly get to hear about their ex's sexual difficulty, the vicious row they had about their mother's will, exactly how much they earn, the troubles they have with their digestion, their favourite bedroom position and the nature of an early childhood trauma. The difficulty lies in the toll these divulgences impose on over-sharers themselves. An evening of entertainment is too often followed by a shame-ridden awakening.

Through my femur to the marrow is her Cupid shining arrow, so my leg is in love, whoa, my leg is in love.
