I'm not against sharing. What I hate is when sharing turns into blasting everything I do out to the world without my consent each time. I don't want people to know every song I listen to, every news article I read, or every HN post I open. If this makes me introverted, then I don't want to be cool and hip.
See the recent stories about LinkedIn blasting out stuff to every contact in an address book or the historical fubars of Facebook changing defaults on the fly.
