People Repeating The Same Stories All The Time?

[CokeTulip]

Whats wrong do you think?

I know a couple of people who do this but one in particular stands out - she tells me the same story over and over (she isn't old - 40's). I have to interrupt and tell her that she has told me this particular story at least 6 times!! already but she does it again the next time I meet her!

Its exhausting - could there be something wrong health -wise or with memory do you think? She isn't getting the message either so its puzzling me.

She has lost alot of friends recently but I think there might be something up with her and she isn't self-aware here at all or doesn't seem to be.

She lives with a relative who is very elderly and has dementia and cares for her so I dont know if this might be affecting her in some way. Any thoughts welcomed and appreciated.
Thanks.

I know people like this, generally speaking I would put it down to poor memory coupled with a bit of loneliness.
