‘Oversharing’ is when you reveal something which makes the person you are talking to uncomfortable.

... but the term is also used when you pretend to reveal something which is, in fact, a fabrication. Usually what you say is 'tweaked up' to be as repulsive as possible. The person you are speaking to might still say "oversharing" in that case.

I think that that is part of what makes it oversharing, but just because you revealed something and someone is uncomfortable doesn't mean you were oversharing. You may have been informing them that they were laid off or that a family member of theirs just died. Or you may have been telling them that it's fine weather we're having and they may have just stubbed their toe.
