[quote=Anonymous]When I’m conversing with someone and they start repeating a story, I’ll find a place to quickly and kindly remind them That they’ve told me the story before. Something like, with a big smile and look of interest in what they have to say, “Oh yes, I remember! You told me about that before!” My mother often repeats stories to me, and I do much the same with her. But if I start to repeat a story, she will basically roll her eyes and tell me in a condescending way, “I know, you told me.” I’ve developed a real complex about this and become very internally embarrassed about it. Maybe this is why I try to be so kind when reminding others of this apparent faux pas. But why do I let my mother’s response illicit such a reaction? And why is she so unkind when it comes to this minor social mistake even she’s guilty of?[/quote]
