So am I. I get talking to strangers sometimes and before I know it, I have spewed out virtually my entire life story then regret it. Some are grateful as they learn new things. Others not so much.
But I have a very loyal group of friends on Facebook who have stuck with me through everything and who know more about me than anyone else as I share freely there.

I think of AS as extremes. I am the "too" open type. And my AS-like BFF and a co-worker are the "too" closed types. We've all worked on being less extreme, but the tendencies are still very, very, very much there.
I am also way too open but I am trying to hold back. I have my limits of course but my openness tends to be sharing too much too fast but it isn't that bad unless I meet someone else who is also way too open. But then it isn't an issue because now I know their life story as well. I do agree that it probably comes from not being socially aware enough.
