I Think I Am Too Open To Strangers

I have a hard time understanding how much is too much information when meeting people. Like when they ask about my past, often the heaviest things are the most relevant so I answer honestly. I think I scare some people away because of it. Too much too soon kind of thing, but that’s who I am.
To me it doesn’t matter how long we’ve been friends or if we’re even really friends, if you ask I’ll answer. I don’t understand why I should change what the answer is or omit it to make someone else comfortable. It doesn’t make sense to me. Life isn’t all roses and butterflies, sometimes bad things happen and they have a lasting impact on the people they affect.
Idk, what you you think? Am I too open about these things?

I don't think anyone can be too open. I'm the same way, I'll answer any question truthfully when asked. So, it also seems natural to me. I do understand some people are not comfortable with that, which is fine. Everyone is different. The people who think this way will appreciate your honesty an open personality.

You're what's considered "painfully honest". Is there anything wrong with that? Not necessarily. It sounds like you just want people who are willing to listen. Personally it takes a long time for me to really be open with anyone.

I would say no....but I walk that same line sometimes....say nothing, say too much...

If they care they stay if not they go....not in a bad or negative way....moreso indifference that shoos people away.

I think if they can't handle the truth then you don't need them because what's the sense in being someone you're not just to make them comfortable. That's no way to live.

I'm going to put it like this, if it bothers the core you change it, if not then don't.
