How do I stop from over sharing/being too deep to new coworkers. (lemmy.blahaj.zone)

I know I can over share. I know I say things way too "deep" for neutrotypicals. I know how I take small talk into big talk with just one sentence. What are ways that you keep yourself aware in conversation to just be casual. I imagine something small to fidget with that isn't obvious and I can use to keep me centered on being not so outright. Obviously I don't like wearing anything but maybe something like a normal but moving or spinning finger ring would help, I can always take it off.

Is this something you guys experience, maybe recognize now, or have realized this behavior and have some mechanism to stay "normal"?

What are you oversharing about?

I mean on day one I wouldn't talk about like childhood trauma or something. Just talk about your hobbies or interests, but surface level. Don't infodump their ass the first time you talk about something.
