I have always been that guy that everyone opens up to and way overshares about their deepest problems. And I have zero clue as to why. It's becoming an issue at work

So I'm a 30 year old guy. In my dating life and relationship history I have very routinely come across women who I attempted to date that for whatever reason very early on end up confessing to me about stuff they may not have even told their girlfriends or families about, or things that are totally TMI to be sharing at such a stage. I end up being told about in conversation (usually unprompted or without me asking about it) their deepest secrets, or their lifetime woes ever since 5th grade, her "real number" of prior partners (kinda hard to assume it's fake when she tells you its 56 dudes), some very personal family problems, how she's been trying to combat drinking but failing, and so on. Very common for me to hear such things as "wow, dracula912 I don't even know why I told you this, I haven't even told my mom about that". It's pretty wild because NONE of my male friends have ever had women so ready to open up to them about their woes or very personal issues.
A couple examples:
A Christian woman very serious about waiting until marriage, confiding in me that she'd love to be a BDSM domme with her future husband. She told me this during our the first date.
Another lady who proceeded to tell me for about an hour about how her father being physically abusive when she was little affected the rest of her life and she told me this during the first date.
A lady who told me about hard she has had it trying to get justice for when she was SA'ed as a teenager because the cops didn't take it seriously. It was the second time I had ever met her and she invited me for a first "real date" that evening.
A woman who told me about a period in her life that she had to sell her body online to make ends meet and how she felt so bad for having slept with 40 men by the time she was 22. This was a lady from a dating site and occurred during the first phone call.
I will say, it has been incredibly helpful in weeding out women who would be bad news for my personal life over the years though.
It's even extended to the workplace with adult men, but not as frequently. A good example would be at a job I had in 2018, my boss confided to me after work how much he hated how his boss was treating him, and proceeded to tell me his woes and then ask MY OPINION about how to handle a particularly racist/insulting remark his boss had told him that day. Or someone at work confides in me the gritty details of his wife's cancer treatment progress or how much they've tried to help their adult son/daughter stay clean from drugs.
My friends and parents are convinced I should have been a therapist rather than an engineer. I don't have the faintest idea why near total strangers feel so comfortable oversharing about themselves to me, especially women. And that they appear to have zero fear that I will judge them. Even though I admit I AM judgmental about a few things (not many, just a few). It happens quite frequently and has ever since I was a kid when kids at school would confide in me at recess "hey I like so and so, what should I say to her/him?".
I don't particularly mind it, except when it happens at work. I could definitely start an interesting podcast with all the wacky stuff that people have told me about themselves or their lives.
But it is incredibly uncomfortable when it happens at work with coworkers telling me stuff I don't want to hear about. Especially that now I am in a more serious job that this comes across as potentially unprofessional interaction. I don't know if this is the right sub to post this in, but I am sincerely trying to figure out what it is that I may be doing, saying, or conveying somehow that makes people at work feel it is appropriate to tell me about their medical issues, family drama, super TMI political/religious/etc viewpoint, without being prompted about it, while on the clock. As after those instances at work it becomes incredibly awkward when I come into the office.
TL;DR lifetime of being the person people overshare to. I don't mind it in my personal life but it keeps happening at work. And this is becoming a bigger issue now that I have a more serious job.
