If you heard the story of your life, would you be interested?

Let’s say there is a person telling a story, and it happens to be the story of your life. You’re listening (as if this story is not your story – you are simply a passing stranger), are you interested? Do you think anyone else would be interested? Feel free to comment and elaborate.

It’s a story worth telling, people could stand to learn some lessons. 17
Can I have another drink, please? This is getting a little heavy… 19
It would be like listening to a Shakespeare play... 5
It’d be a good story… not the best I’ve heard, but alright. 24
I’d be nodding off after about 10 seconds. 18
A fantastical adventure! Surprises at every turn! 9
Hell yes! Hanging on the edge of my seat! 14
(__) went to the office all week; ham sandwich lunches...end of story 6
No! I hate sad stories! 10
Help us keep this site organized and clean. Thanks!

    I think I'd have to have a life, first.

          I've been as busy as a fat kid in a cupcake shop. Lots of photography work for me around the holidays. Hooray money! I can eat for another day.

    I actually have a lot of really funny stories. They usually start with the words, "I was wasted once and...." If I take last night for example I came in absolutely steaming with a burger and chips and for whatever reason I decided not to eat it but instead hide it in a pair of wellies, god only knows why I do these things because I certainly don't.

      Plus because I never remember doing any of this shit I actually do have to hear it from other people.

  • It would be interesting, but most definitely taken as fiction.

    You'd have to be insane to think any of it was true.

    Somewhat anticlimactic or lackluster is the way I would describe the story that I am imagining right now. I really liked some of your options though. I could tell some thought went into this poll :)

    Ha! I find myself very interesting so I would hope hearing my own story told would keep me engaged. Assuming the boring parts get left out.

    I'd listen because there's so much ill shit I've pretty much forgotten all about but most other people would probably not be able to stomach it past about age 8. It would be interesting to some people of the right mindsets, I'm sure.

    And if they made it major motion picture, who would play you?

    It would be interesting, yes. I've had an unusual life and I have an unusual outlook. It's why I often talk about it here. Someone once told me they thought I made up the stories I write about here but I don't think I ever have (apart from when it was obviously made-up and intended to be). Things just happen to me.

  • Yes I would, I'd be both happy and disturbed by what I'd hear. It would feed my ego enormously.

    I'd like to hear my own life story, I've forgotten most of it and I would like to recap all that's been forgotten

    From the 4 corners of the earth to the boardrooms of Manhattan, I have done it all. Most movies don't quite match the experiences I have had.

    It was tough, babe. I'd never do it again, but now my heart is richer than anyone's.

    My life story would probably be psychological/dark comedy.
    Others might listen, depending on the person. I know I would. My life hasn't exactly been too great so far, but the pure (and literal) insanity and ridiculousness of it all would be interesting enough, I guess.

    No I wouldn't. I wouldn't want to relive it.

    Shit if it was just my life story, I'd be all in it!!

  • Yes and no. If they done the highlights of it, the main parts that stand out, then yes, I think I would, and others. If it was my life at the moment, I would say no.

    Depends who's listening, some would find my life interesting, others would find it boring. Me personally, if i saw my life from someone elses perspective...yeah, i don't know, it's a hard question to answer.

    I don't even try to tell stories from my past, no one would believe me. On that basis I think it would be an interesting read. The last 5 years have been pretty ordinary. Good but not abnormally exciting.

    I wouldn't say that I've down anything spectacular to for someone to be telling the story of my life. I have done some "great" things, but it's mostly been depressing and not adventurous. I'm sure there are some interesting aspects, but are they really enough to captivate myself or a whole audience?

    Nnnnnnnnnnnnope! I know it already. I'd like to hear something new.

    • But if you didn't know it? As if it weren't actually your life but you heard the story of someone leading your life?

        Oh. No. Mercifully, my life is pretty boring.

    Judging by what others say it would be very interesting, and 6 psychiatrists can't be wrong.

    My life is generally too boring to be interesting. However, there is one very interesting factor about it. But other than that, no.

    Oh, the irony of this comedic life of mine. I've always thought certain parts of my life would make for a good series, especially in my younger years when i gallivanted around town smoking my pot. I'll never forget the bus ride to March 26, 2026 or the man who contacted his cat via quiji board, getting trapped in the school of many exits and the lake i pissed at a park, late morning. Tis become more dramatic with time, but still, a story I'd listen to.

    I would just hope the story will not be too long.

    No thanks. Acutally living my life hasn't been that exciting let alone telling a story about it.
