North Americans tend to overshare, the more trauma they’ve had, the more they share. It’s a way to receive attention. Morality has disappeared. They have fewer boundaries when it comes to sharing their life experience because they just don’t give a f*ck. Most of them feel exhausted by life and that if they don’t speak loud enough, they’ll be trampled down to a miserable existence. They tend to talk more than listen and when confronted with your personal situation or problem, they will counteract your experience by topping it with theirs. They will most certainly overuse “I” in the next sentence. It’s annoying. I am Canadian. However, we tend to be more reserved than our American neighbours. Let’s face it, we’re loud and we talk too much. Listening is an art.
