		<description>"I find it quite easy to talk about myself and I’ve told my knee story countless times. As such, I struggle with leaving it out. Why do I feel compelled to tell people about it? Certainly, it’s important to share it with my close friends and my small group because it is such a big part of my life. But it is totally not necessary to mention it to people I have just met."

I disagree somewhat with this. As someone who struggles with the TMI monster, I think, as you mention earlier, it is a part of you, and who you are.

What strikes me as similar (though in no way am I equalizing the two) is trying to explain to someone about a mental disorder. Let's say, for example, I'm talking to someone with ADHD. They may get the top-level understanding, but when I explain that it is an incredible struggle to have a conversation with someone with a TV on in the background; that it is bordering to a torture test, even though the person could be having an incredible conversation and the TV behind them is showing an irrelevant program that I wouldn't stop on if I were flipping channels at home; that makes it clear.

I don't open the conversation with it, obviously, but there's no shame in the idea that if the topic comes up, you don't want to at least address the difficulty in it.</description>
