Repeating myself...

63% Normal
5 Comments

Is it normal to repeat something I say over and over? It is reallllly hard to catch myself doing it and it just slips into normal conversation without me even noticing. I can't tell if anyone else notices and it's just that sometimes I feel like I'm not being heard or I'm being ignored. I never hear other people do it either. I did it a lot more when I was a tiny kid and bugged people a lot; I'm wondering: IIN?

    Sometimes we feel we need to repeat ourselves until we get the desired response or reaction! It happens when we feel we are not being understood or 'heard'.

    Do you mean that you tell the same story to the same person next week, or that you immediately repeat yourself like an echo.

    I like to tell stories, and sometimes I will accidentally tell the same story to the same person. I guess that's different than what you are asking. Not quite sure what to tell you.

    Yeah, I do it too. Especially if someone keeps cutting me off on the conversation. I might try 3 or 4 more times before I finally say it all or just give up and walk away.
