You told me before … :)

I think we sometimes repeat same stories to others over and over again because our Ego
enjoys it so much…. it actually BLOCKS OUT our memory…. I know.. I CLIMBED
KILIMANJARO lol… and my “scientific” conclusion is “tell sign”… if that happens… the person telling the story (they know they had told before) will NEVER ask “have I told you
this before?”.. or “hold on, are you interested?”.. the interest in telling the story
becomes so great… the Ego fuelled story-teller anticipates all the questions which could reduce that interest…and deals with them “accordingly”… (usually by not hearing them or not giving the listener the chance to ask them hehehehe)…. and of course, this is a general statement, nothing to do with my personal success of actually CLIMBING KILIMANJARO.
All I am trying to say is that Comfort Zones is what one seeks more and more the older one gets. Which means preference to put up with whatever we have rather than facing a change of getting something better.
