> If your anecdote is "boring" or a more normal representation, why share? Because if we don't, the only people who will share will be the ones with scary stories. But indeed...why share any anecdote at all? They're pointless, except when used (as they usually are) to trigger emotions. I'm saying that there's a tendency for people to amplify the emotional stories, and ignore the boring ones.
