- Description
-
"Tmi" is a common initialism for "too much information," used when someone shares personal details that are considered overly intimate, gross, or unnecessary for the context. It serves as a social boundary marker, signaling to the speaker that they have crossed a line of decorum or comfort for the listener. While it can be used seriously to stop a conversation, it is frequently used in a self-deprecating way when a speaker realizes they are oversharing. The term is ubiquitous in digital communication as a quick way to react to uncomfortable disclosures.
- Example

> Maybe tmi, but I've been dealing with some really weird digestive issues all morning.
> She started talking about her surgery in the middle of lunch and I had to tell her it was tmi.
> I know this is tmi, but I haven't showered in three days because my water is shut off.
