story-telling

Making the laugh supreme, leads me to tell stories with me as the punchline. The plot-lines are frequently about rudeness being directed towards me. My friends were
finding the stories less and less amusing.. greeting the stories with silence.. some
even told me to stop telling the stories.

Their reactions brought me to the emotional place where I could take in the clarity
to realize that I was indirectly putting myself down and was indirectly giving the listener permission to violate certain boundaries. I have begun to limit the story telling.
