People who overshare on social media often do so because they are looking for connection or validation from others. Some believe that sharing everything will make them seem more authentic or closer to their online friends. There are also those who do not know the boundaries of privacy and see social media as a place to say anything without regard for the consequences. Other reasons include feelings of loneliness or seeking attention from people. Sharing personal information like your address or phone number can be dangerous and it is important to learn to set digital boundaries to protect yourself.
