People are people, and they want to know about their own experiences.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Sometimes you want to make your own experiences.
It's so easy to get caught up in your own experiences. They can seem so important. But there are billions and billions of other experiences going on.
We don't believe other people's experiences can tell us all that much about our own. I think this is an illusion of uniqueness.
To be honest, I don't mind talking about my experiences in life, but details aren't for everyone.
The question isn't, 'What do we want to know about people?', It's, 'What do people want to tell about themselves?'
Anytime you share life stories with other people, you know, you are acknowledging their humanity and kind of accessing some things about yourself, and other people start to expect things about themselves. It's kind of like a fellowship.
I'm in a position to look back at my life, and I realized there were a number of experiences that needed to be documented.
I guess when you write a personal story, people feel compelled to share their own stories.
People generally pay attention to what they already know about and what they care about.
People are so afraid to talk about real things, but they're experiences that everyone goes through.
