@howtoconvince: You don’t have to sit through the same story for the fifth time just to be polite. Show them you remember it, then move the conversation somewhere new. The best redirects don’t make people feel embarrassed. They make them feel heard 🤝 #communicationtips #socialskills #emotionalintelligence #conversationtips
I am a story repeater, but I’m very self-conscious of it and I want you to let me know!

You don’t know my ex SIL. She can’t stop won’t stop. There was no way to connect once she started.

Thank you for this. As a woman who has PTSD from not being heard as a child, I have a tendency to repeat myself.

I think it depends on the person. sometimes people retell stories because that's their way of experiencing the emotions of it again and lets them relive the moment and emotions with someone else. Of course, not everyone, but some people!

I’m more direct.I will say “stop, you told me this before. Are you going to say something new or different about it”. It’s not rudeness. It’s time management, efficiency and my peace. ✌🏼

So are you giving me permission to cut them off mid story? Because this is my mother and I rarely get a word in unless I interrupt her 😂

Whether its a story or not most people repeat everything. Oftentimes people aren't saying new information
