Most people are shit storytellers, not my fault that I tried to revive their crappy-ass bullshit and then finally resorted to a hostile takeover because they couldn’t even make fighting a dragon sound interesting.
“One time, I saw a beaver.”
“That’s cool, what were you doing at the time? What was it doing?”
“Just walking. I dunno.”
……
“That reminds me of when I saw some beavers in the park nearby. They were chewing up sone logs by the water and making noises you would not expect, and the whole time we’re just there trying to quietly point them out to strangers who were also walking by and—“
“Oh my god, you only talk about yourself.”
Sorry for trying to relate to you through a common experience, I’ll just nod and say “cool” when you’re done and the convo can die awkwardly.
you have to acknowledge the other person first, then you can jump into your story. otherwise it comes off as self-centered instead.
Sorry I want to participate in a conversation instead of just smiling and nodding
I’m in this picture and it makes me uncomfortable.
I genuinely don’t understand when people do this. I hate it. Even if I have a similar story, I almost never throw it in, usually only if it contradicts a story from someone else I don’t like.
I think its most annoying when its the same person who always jumps in an ongoing conversion… and they somehow have a more “impressive” story to tell.
Brian Regan called them “Me Monsters” lol
I fucking hate that shit lol
“That’s nothing, I…”
i connect with others like that. the people i know (many of them autistic like me) also mostly do it. getting together means sharing a bunch of stories, which i like.
Yeah I genuinely love sharing a thing and learning someone else also has experiences with that thing.
If my story about playing a cool game I got recently reminded you of a fun time you had with a game like it I want to hear it. Like, that’s the whole point of me telling said story - I went out on a limb and was hoping for expansion!
I’m people and I’m sorry
I’m not sorry, my story is much better of course
When I do it it’s like “Wow that was so much fun hearing your experience of that thing! Let me tell you my exact same experience so you can get dopamine, too!” I’m actually pretty commited to the reality that I’m a relatively boring person, so I never think my story is better.
Yes, and?
