Why am I like this?

[Balloon5]

I don’t get why I talk so much, i talk way too much. I over share my business and now I’m thinking to myself “why did I tell this person so much about me” Now I feel like he’s going to share my personal business with others why did I do this? I go on my highs where I’m really happy but everyone at work seems to know when Im definitely having a low, it’s embarrassing they seem to assume I’m “Bipolar” without knowing the actual definition of bipolar. It’s 2:30am I went to the gym thinking it was going to tire me and nope, I’m still up.

They’re letting go so much people at work & im afraid I’m going to be one of them. They’re saying they’re just letting the temps go and I’m a full time employee so maybe I’m just over thinking it? So much running through my mind right now it’s ridiculous.

Hello Balloon5. I think being chatty is a lovely quality. I am very quiet and often wish I could think of things to say. Please do not be so hard on yourself. I can understand the need to share personal issues. Maybe it is just your way of getting things off your chest. I think a decent person will not share anything personal you have told them. I can understand your worry over losing your job but if it is only the temps going then you should be safe.

I think people throw the word bipolar around a lot. Having no clue what it's about or how difficult it is for those that live with it. They say things like " are you in manic mode, oh are you bipolar, they even say " I feel manic today about themselves"

It's an uneducated way of summing up what a person is preforming like on any given day.

Unfortunately there nothing you can do if this person tells people. Hopefully he's a decent guy not into gossip.

I agree with Autumn if it's just temps you shouldn't worry about your job.

I often do the same. In me I think it comes from compensating for a lack of confidence and skill in dealing with people. Maby we need a place to practice or learn better ways to overcome this.

I think all you need is either proper job or business or hobby, and you will concentrate on that.

Talking is not bad. Being scattered is not good.

Hi Balloon5. I used to be the same way. I’d tell people my whole life story. Looking back now, I see that I had no personal boundaries. Now, I’m completely guarded. That’s not good, either. It’s so hard to find middle ground.
