How much personal information do people share with others?

I'm just thinking about boundaries. What's the appropriate amount of information to share with different categories of people (significant other, friend, acquaintance, co-worker, etc.). Is there a point where it becomes problematic?

I learn a lot being quiet at first. Then if I'm interested I start asking questions until I can get you to start telling stories. I will answer questions but generally never volunteer information about myself. Most people are delighted to keep the attention on themselves and we can keep the arrangement up for years.😂

I think entering the danger zone in terms of sharing information has more to do with the integrity of the individual and the conversation than their identity in your life.
