Some people like to talk about their lives. Those man who tell their stories are very proud of what they achieved. I didn't like someone who tell stories over and over again. I'm not happy to hear story about what is happening in our life too especially story from the past. Moreover, people who told story again and again made me sick of them. I think there are a lot of interesting topic to be talked about rather than our life such as economy, politics, weather and the like. How about you, do you usually talk about your life and do you do it again and again until somebody sick of your life story?

Well, if there is something worth mentioning, why not tell it? I always discuss my life with my family and friends and that keeps me informed where I am wrong and how can I rectify my mistakes. I agree that there is nothing in my life to boast about and neither I want anything that great happening, but I do need to be informed what I do is right or wrong. Talking things again and again doesnt help and I avoid that. What helps is the open-ness to rectify the mistakes and move on. I know a few people in their old age who do this kind of thing - talk about their past and I find that quite informative.

Hi sijabatnaburjut Failures are said to be the pillars of success. But how? They were discussed. See, I agree that repeated discussions of failures on a particular topic might not go well with many, but personally I have found that such discussions actually help. You get to know where you can improve and also where you went wrong - if you share them with the right people with a view that you can change if needed. Personally as I mentioned, I have been benefitted many a times by sharing my failures and hance I am positive about it. I agree that all do not like sharing failures and also many people prefer that they dont hear about failures... but then there are some people in the categories of Friends, Guides and Teachers who should be open to listen to your failures and suggesting you on how to go about it so that the next time you have less chances of failing

Yeah. I might be one of the many people who welcome to hear the success stories from other people. What about the stories of failure ? Failure is not an option and if we talk about it while listening is a failure one. There may be a different stories. I have repeatedly failure and I just didn't like to tell about. People prefer telling his good stories to bad stories. As we all know that the bad stories is part of the happiness.

Sometimes I share things from my life or talk about my experiences, but I don't like to tell the same stories over and over because I think that people will get bored if I do that If I know that I have already told a certain story about my life to my husband or to a friend I don't repeat it. My husband likes to tell the same stories over and over and sometimes I get impatient if he starts telling me a story that I have already heard many times. I like to listen to other people and I like to hear about their lives, but I don't like to listen to stories that I have already heard so many times, I guess I am too impatient for that.

Sometimes I joke about it and finish his stories for him That is very easy to do, because I have heard them so many times and I know how the stories end. When I do that we both start laughing. If I just tell hom that I have heard the story before he doesn't believe me, because he doesn't remember telling me the story, but when I finish the story for him he understands that he has told me the story before.

i usually tells the story of my life to my girlfriend, because of my achievement i think she will be impressed, but talking my life story in public is a big "NO". I prefer to keep my private life untouched or untold to strangers.

I don't like to talk about my life because I feel it's not right to. I can't be like those people who remember their whole entire life and tell it as if it had happened yesterday. Sure, some stories get old but some stories you can't help but listen because it sounds so interesting. It sometimes makes me wish that I had a more interesting life story that I would feel proud to tell others about.

I am very similar like you. I just thought that to tell our life story appeared the atmosphere of the past moreover it was sad story. If I would be glad to listen to someone achievement in their life and it became story from past I wanted to refuse listening, but still I did not like it if it was told many time. I thought it was a waste of time to listen to a story which has not anything to do with our life.

The same as you I don't like some people talk about their life again and again though it's very interesting! Yes. It's not wrong that some one like to share their stories with others. But it's ok to talk one time but many times.It's easy to let me boring and sick.

Dear friend, I had mostly heard this stories of those acts are from Military people. They tell those stories of their army life. Some even boost it with many extra lies. Past stories I do like to hear provided it is told in a interesting way and story should interesting one. Otherwise it would be boring. Also I wish to hear true interesting life stories.Repeation is boring...

Yeah, We need listening a story about the past, but we need only listened to it once and tried to understand the message behind the story. Listening same story over and over again can make us tired, bored and clogged mind.

I guess that it depends upon the circumstances and the people that are involved. Some people tell their life story over and over again to different people to try to teach them a lesson, such as a drunk driver trying to get others to stop drinking and driving. Some people like to get together and reminisce about the past times that they spent together. They might talk about the same stories over and over again through the years and adding more stories as they go, because everybody remembers these times and enjoys laughing about what they did together.

Usually when i tell a story to someone, i would ask if i have told him/her about this and that. That way, i don't get to repeat stories specially of some parts of my life , because i know how it feels to hear a story over and over again. Usually, my mother- in-law would be like that. Telling stories over and over again, that sometimes at the start of her story, i would say, oh you have told me that again. But she would continue nonetheless, and i feel like screaming , STOP! But out of respect, i would just keep silent and sometimes just hum a song.

Yeah, I don't mind if older people tend to do thing again and again. So, it's not a problem. Like or dislike, we listened them. It is same as when I watched a movie, I only watched once, I will watch for second time but I just lost my appetizer.

I think it's not good to avoid people while they're starting the same story, all we can do is just to listen to them by nodding and pretending that we like their story. I commonly cut in the session and pretended remembering a story which is more important to be told rather than just listened to the same story. That's all.

There are some people who have stories of their life which are inspiring and worthwhile to be listened to . Some stories in my life too may be interesting and stirring for others to listen too . Whatever be the case , repitition is always loathing .

I did not realized what you said. I agreed that there is a story which could be interesting or inspiring for others. Thank you for reminding me about it. I knew by hearing the life story of other people can be like open door to people who have lack of experiences.

They love that because those stories meant some good experience for them and they feel defined throught those. They feel better doing that being the way of building their intercommunication. And that's real fine and cool. Still if anyone is anoying you about that, there're nice ways of avoiding. talking about yourself is good, mostly when exeperience is apportioned.

i too am tired of listening to the same old story again and again.a person who stays nearby catches each and every individual crossing by and starts receding his story again and again.i personally have herd this story almost 10 times.i feel he has nothing else to speak about and this story is the only thing he is much comfortable on to speak. as for me,its only seldom that i open up my life book and that is only in front of my close friend.i don;t usually tell people about my life story.
