Infodumping

I infodumped about a random game I was playing for like 2 hours no one said anything to me and then suddenly they changed the subject I kind of felt they were trying to get me to shut up I made me pretty upset about it 

The easiest way for me is reading gestures and tone of voice. If I mention Anunnaki, Nibiru and Daniken and I see the hands rising and the voice rising and I hear “wow! You too?!” Then I know I found a good company 

I'd like to add to this that I have a number of friends with whom this is a perfectly serviceable communication method.

We take it in turns to infodump/overshare for around 10-15 mins each and then swap. I am told that I am a person with whom it's hard to get close to in a short space of time, but I have a few friends who I have been close with for many years with whom I do this, and we met when I was smaller and much less good at pretending to human effectively.

I infodump and overshare.

I accidentally did an infodump in my assessment (he asked me about my friends, I went on a 20 min infodump about orchid pollination, as you do) and he brought it up in the 'yeah you're autistic' discussion as an example.

I also overshare, although this is mostly an instinctual difficulty in gauging what is appropriate for other people to know, and difficulty in reciprocal communication. I tend to be in either question or answer mode, not great at balancing the two. 

Also, I just really like finding out new things and feel others should feel the same, which means when I learn a thing I think is cool, I tell everyone I meet about it for usually a few days until I find another cool thing.

This guy I know sends me lengthy info dump and overshating emails. I'll reply in a day or two. And then I don't hear from him for months. Then he does it again a few months later. He doesn't respond to my reply. The last one I received was just before valentines day. I didn't reply. It's so one sided. I try and be understanding but it's got too much for me. 

I am guilty of oversharing a little sometimes. For example: I told the waiter at a cafe recently that I couldn't have a dessert because the sweetness hurts my sensitive tooth. I really don't think he needed to hear that. 

Someone once told me that its really childish not to know when to shut up.   

I seem to remember replying that it is really rude to interrupt while I am still speaking. 

I do know that when I get into the mode of talking about something that interests me, it becomes all about me getting those words out, and nothing to do with the audience.  

I've even been known (and this probably IS bad) to observe people visibly looking bored and actually ask 'are you even listening??'   They normally say they are, even if they haven't been, and then you ask them to repeat what you just said.....

Shocking....   all of it.     It sounds so terrible when you admit it

I learned to do it only if I see the other person’s excitement

This is what I try to do with my family. I'm not good at recognising facial expressions, but I am learning to better notice if people are responding positively or not.

I'm an info dumper. I get so carried away with myself and the excitement of talking about something I have a deep interest in, before I know it I'm talking like a speeding train. I stop when I realise I'm the only one talking and notice their faces aren't exactly looking happy at the current topic of discussion. I don't info dump much not unless I'm sure it's something the person I'm talking to is really interested in.

I overshare very often, and then regret it. I also love Info dumping but I learned to do it only if I see the other person’s excitement. My grandpa also liked to info dump me, I loved that too and I remember these moments as very special. I have more ND vibes in my family, although they are in denial, still they are ND. 

Thank you for sharing thoughts on this. 

I certainly do not overshare, I am usually accused of not sharing enough information and tend to try and use as few words as I can get away with face to face. Sometimes not explaining enough, I often think to myself what I am saying makes no sense at all. If its something of interest to me I might bore someone to tears I guess

To be oversharing is when people share a lot of personal information to people they don't really know. Infodumping is literally what is says in the name. I get bored when people infodump but I also know that I don't when it's something I'm very interested in. Oversharing is more uncomfortable and not a thing I generally get accused of as I'm a pretty closed book most of the time.

I don't see why this is an issue (or even a thing).   I am constantly bewildered at the need to label & name everything sometimes, but yeah, I know what you mean.

If I see a massively long output that isn't to my taste I switch off.   Whether it's because the video tells me how long it is before I begin, or because I see written text that is too many paragraphs, or the sound of someone's voice sends me to sleep...  the result can be disinterest.   Same as if my annoying neighbour comes up while I'm carrying too much and I can't get in the door quick enough.  

I think....  sh*t, he's gonna bore me to death.  I don't think he's going to infodump.  But maybe he does both.  Maybe he over-shares too.  There's that over-lap.  

I'm sure some people feel the same about me.  I tend to go overboard about things that interest me, and I've no filter (and few social graces) telling me that others have maybe heard enough when I still want to say more.  

Guilty - Had to google it - not looked at the videos but know I do that if I'm outside my house doing some gardening or washing the car.

Just a quick comment from a passer by and they may be stuck with a good few minutes of me off-loading.  I tend to do this more than oversharing
