My co-worker is an over-sharer

[(Anonymous)]

and I cannot deal with over-sharers that are practically strangers to me. I suppose she wants to be my friend, but because I can't stand her, that's not gonna happen. Since ignoring her and trying to avoid contact with her as much as possible isn't doing the trick, is there a diplomatic way to say "I'd rather shoot myself in the face than listen to you yammering on about your personal life. You're at a work setting, act like it."

Just ignore her? I just nod every now and again when annoying people won't shut up.

"I'm really busy and can't talk right now."
"Sorry, can't chat. I have to [do this project and that project]."

There's also the classic putting on headphones and ignoring people trick.

Just tell her you' prefer not to chat at work unless it's about work stuff. It's blunt but not rude.

As an oversharer who has talked to many other oversharers, something to the effect of "I'm not entirely comfortable talking about such personal things and knowing personal stuff about people makes me anxious" or one of the two can help.

I can't speak for all oversharers but frequently overly friendly oversharers (including myself) are people who may be awkward at conversation but really want to be friendly with people.
