Anyone else have family members that love bringing up your past and seem very obsessed with things that have happened many many years ago? My family seems to love doing this and I know other families can be like this too. My dad always talks about stuff that occurred in my past and seems very obsessed too. This is one of the several reasons I don't like telling family about my personal life because they can't seem to let things go.

Stuff that happened in high school between 2006-2010 will be brought up and talked about as if it happened yesterday. My dad will bring up people who didn't like me in high school and want to talk about them which makes no sense since that's the past and I find it super weird that stuff like that keep getting brought up. He also likes bringing up stuff that happened before and after birth excessively and there are times when I can sense stories are being exaggerated since things don't add up at times.

I have seen him exaggerate things at times as well.. He'll also make claims that I have difficulties accepting the fact that I have hearing impairment even though I deal with it just fine everyday and don't feel the need to always bring it up constantly. Anytime he brings up someone from my past, I act like I have no memory of the person to minimize any chance of him constantly going on about them.

Sometimes it works and sometimes he'll still go on about them. Anyone else deal with this with their families? It's super annoying and like I mentioned, it's one of the several reasons I keep them out of my personal life as much as possible. I know I bring up the past a lot as learning lessons but I think there's a difference between remembering your past and learning from it and dwelling on them and talking about past events as if it happened yesterday. I bring up past events especially on here but not to the level family does, it's quite weird and annoying.
