Some people just love details. They think every little aspect of the story is important and want to share it all.
They might be nervous and feel like they need to keep talking to fill the silence. So they end up adding more and more to the story. Also, they could be trying to impress others with how much they know or how interesting their experience was. For example, if they went on a once - in - a - lifetime trip, they want to make sure you understand every single detail of how amazing it was. Another reason could be that they are not very good at organizing their thoughts. So they just start talking and keep going without a clear structure, which makes the story seem to go on forever.
Often, people who take a long time to tell a story are simply passionate about what they are talking about. Their enthusiasm makes them want to include every possible element of the story. It could also be that they lack self - awareness about how long they are taking. They may not notice that the listener is getting bored or impatient. Additionally, in some cases, they might be used to a different conversational style where long - winded stories are the norm, and they haven't adjusted to a more concise way of communicating.
Maybe they get lost in details or have trouble organizing their thoughts.
People tell stories to express themselves. Through stories, they can share their experiences, feelings, and ideas. It's a way to connect with others on an emotional level.
Some people are just nervous when they are telling a story, especially if they are in front of an audience. This nervousness can make them slow down, repeat themselves, or add unnecessary explanations to make sure they are being understood. They might also be constantly second - guessing what they are about to say, which all adds up to taking forever to tell the story.
You could gently interrupt them and ask them to get to the point. For example, say something like 'That sounds really interesting, but could you quickly tell me the main part?'.
Maybe they want to build suspense and keep the audience engaged. Or they might have a lot of details they think are important to share.
People pledge to tell their story because they want to be heard. It could be to share their experiences, whether good or bad, in order to inspire others. For example, someone who has overcome an illness might tell their story to give hope to those currently suffering.
Well, it could be for many reasons. Sometimes it's for self - validation. When we tell our story, we're kind of confirming our own existence and the significance of our experiences. Also, it can be a form of connection. By sharing our version of what happened, we can find others who have had similar experiences or who can understand us better. For example, in a book club, people share their interpretations (versions) of a book to engage in deeper discussions and build relationships.
Maybe they're afraid of the consequences or worried about how others will react.
Well, one reason is to entertain and engage readers. Another is to pass on valuable lessons or wisdom. Sometimes, it's just to express themselves and give voice to their creativity.
Some people take fiction seriously because it can offer profound insights and emotional experiences that resonate with them on a deep level.
