Which proverb: someone who tells his life story straight away

Question

Dear All,I'm looking for a way to describe someone who starts talking about relatively private stuff 5 minutes after you met him.Someone who tells where he grew, what kind of school he attended, but also what he thinks of political issues, etc.Just someone he 'throws everthing out'(?) straight away.Is there a proverb for this? Or how would you describe such a person without the use of a proverb?Thanks in advance,Buffett

buffett12how would you describe such a person without the use of a proverb?

It can't be printed here, but a milder form is "a jerk".

We have the expression "to let it all hang out". He lets it all hang out.

But I don't think that captures exactly the situation you've described.

There's also the expression "to share too much". He shares too much.

That is, he tells you more than you want to know, especially regarding any intimate details.

Also, There's such a thing as too much sharing, you know.

There are, of course, a large number of adjectives that could be used.

forward, impolitic, inappropriate, feisty, importunate, irksome, pesky, self-serving, self-centered, self-advertising, vain, boastful, full of hot air, big-mouthed, arrogant, presumptuous, brazen, bold, shameless, pushy, cocky, rude
