Well, it depends on the nature of the story. But generally, I would try my best to keep it to myself. I understand that some stories are very personal and should be kept confidential.
Maybe someone who has had a long and eventful journey. They put on their robe, which could be a reminder of their travels, and then start to tell their story. It could be a way for them to create a certain atmosphere, both for themselves and for the listeners.
Well, you could start with the main characters involved. Then, talk about the setting, like where and when it all happened. Also, don't forget to mention the problem or conflict that was there.
To start your story, I would first explore the environment in which you grew up. Was it a bustling city or a quiet countryside? The place where you spent your formative years shapes who you are. And then I would move on to your relationships, starting with the ones closest to you like your family, and how they influenced your early development.
