Not being able to share stories After I got left out *yet again* by a group of people I hoped to be friends with, I sat down and thought. Stutter aside, what about me makes me unable to connect with others? What about my conversations with people can’t compete with everyone else’s? And it hit me: I never share stories. Ever. The thought alone makes me cringe. I stutter the most when I’m excited and that’ll be my main emotion when telling funny/interesting life stories of mine. So instead of a bonding moment that teaches people more about me, it’s more like a torturous moment of discomfort and boredom (they’ll likely lose interest half way). So... I don’t do it. And because I don’t do it, people can never fully bond with me. Does anyone else avoid sharing stories or other things that are key to building bonds? Does anyone (with balls of steel) *not* avoid these things? Feels like this one impediment hinders us in so many ways..
