Over-Disclosure refers to the excessive or inappropriate sharing of personal, often sensitive, information in social interactions. Unlike strategic self-disclosure, which fosters intimacy and trust, over-disclosure violates social norms and can lead to discomfort, mistrust, or relational strain. This phenomenon is particularly relevant in clinical psychology, interpersonal communication research, and digital communication studies, where boundaries between private and public spheres are increasingly blurred.
