A NOTE FROM THE SITE ADMINISTRATOR
You have a friend that respects you and cares about your well being. This friend wants to bring your attention to a problem you sometimes have with repeating anecdotes. Many of us are unable to discuss this subject face to face. We believe it could ruin a good working relationship. And since your friend has a sincere desire to help you, we have been asked to kindly step in as neutral party. Please read further.

A negative reaction to a repeated story is normal in Australist culture. Coworkers often ostracize, or otherwise treat cruelly, a person with this problem. And a person being this kind of bore is often last in line for promotions at work. This could lead to poor self-esteem and depression.

If one's story-telling is not relieved by new anecdotal material then one should consider other causes. There are indeed many reasons why personally significant events don't occur - including an unbalanced work/home life and excessive sleep. Anecdote repetition could also be an indication of an illness such as a coma and brain damage. So, if these basic life-skills do not help, it would be very wise to consult a clinical psychologist.

On behalf of your friend, I wish you much future success.
