Hey, it's your friend Mel and welcome to the Mel Robbins podcast. Let me ask you a question. How many times today did you stop yourself from saying something? I get it. Maybe it felt awkward or unnecessary or that if you said something it might make things weird.

So instead you were like, oh, I'm fine. You kept it light. You swallowed the comment, you hid the truth, and you let it go. You probably told yourself, oh, that's maturity. That's emotional intelligence.

That's having solid boundaries, not saying anything. But what if you're just terrified of oversharing? You obsess over saying too much. You replay conversations because you're worried that you said the wrong thing or you crossed a line or people are gonna judge you. Most of us think the danger is in oversharing, you know, saying too much, crossing a line, being too vulnerable.

That is the first couple of minutes. The rest is $1.
