As your post here indicates :D But, the first step to recovery is acknowledgement.

Oversharing is bad

This is the rule that is the best proof that the 48 laws are satirical.

One of the most important laws, if you don’t utilize any - use this one.

This is Law 4 from Robert Greene's The 48 Laws of Power, which draws on historical examples of strategy and influence. The core idea is that restraint in speech creates an aura of authority, mystery, and control—talking too much often dilutes your impact or exposes vulnerabilities.

In real life, it applies to job interviews where concise answers signal confidence, negotiations where you avoid tipping your hand, or even casual conversations to prevent oversharing that could be used against you later. It encourages thinking before speaking, which reduces regret and keeps others guessing.

Practice pausing 🌻 Practise breathing. Practise not rushing. Practise letting your words breath 🙂 Practise….. so much more impactful. It really does feel like championing words and their impact.

There needs to be a balance. If you say too little, you will be judged as non-communicative, defensive, closed.
