I find that I have/had this kind of mentality. When talking to people I can quickly run out of things to say, but in reality, I have lots to talk about, but just never tap into the memories or opinions.

When talking to people over a medium like IM or texting, I find that I have more time to let a question or statement soak in, giving me more time to think. Then I have too much to say. Translating this over to real-time interactions was hard because I tend to blank a lot.

This is excellent advice for building up a cache of interesting life stories. Thank you for posting it.

One reason that this advice is so sound is because it works on two fronts. By believing your life is interesting enough to share with other people, you are building both self-confidence and awareness.

Believing that your memories are worth sharing with others builds confidence in your personal value. When you start mining your present circumstances for future story material, you really see the details.

I recommend sidebarring the text of this comment under a subsection for building story-telling material.
