Definition

  • Whoever takes the time to stop and listen to the conversations around them will come to recognize how often people describe their lives and relationships in story-like form. At the coffee shop, friends swap stories with each other about major problems with spouses, mothers-in-law, and nasty neighbors. [Source: Encyclopedia of Human Relationships; Accounts]
