Let it go. Share what you feel comfortable sharing and move on. You’re spending a lot of energy on ruminating. For me, it all depends on who I am talking to on how much I share.
Keeping it simple and brief is something that took me a long time to master. Constantly overexplaining myself, and I didn’t have to. Agree with letting it go and moving on. The next time, do what you feel comfortable doing, whether that is a lot of details or a little, totally up to you.
As a lead, I’ve overshared trying to be transparent and then spent the whole day cringing. I’ve learned to share just enough to show I’m human, but keep the details light. A quick “handling something personal this morning, appreciate your patience” usually does the trick. You’re not alone, most people appreciate honesty, they’re not dissecting every word like we do in our heads.
I personally appreciate when people are real about what’s going on. I think it’s okay to show some humanity, as long as it’s not a pattern. If anything, it might help teammates feel like they can be more honest, too.
I communicate just as much as I need to, and not a word more. None of my coworkers need to know anything about what's going on in my personal life. Having said that, I'm confident you're overthinking this. Your coworkers most likely forgot everything you said the second they got done reading it.
