Oversharer- The True Confessor

"Forgive me father, for I have sinned."- Typical start of a confession in Catholic Church

In the article in WSJ Office Oversharers: Don’t tell Us about last Night June 25, 2014 article by Sue Shellenbarger the sixth type she defines is The True Confessor.

"Definition: The True Confessor- Tends to blurt out the first embarrassing personal experience that springs to mind.”

Probably the most dangerous oversharer type.  It not only overshares but places one in a position that now the person has shared damaging information to the point of no return.  That genie is not going back in the bottle. 

The problem with this type is that you might not have enough time to be able to stop the person before they blast out the information.  And once it is out, there is no way to erase it.  So you just have to peg a person as a “True Confessor” and anticipate that at any time they might start the confession. 

Today's question is:
"Do you over-confess?"
