folder talk

"Folder talk" is a term for when someone is telling a you story and they change the subject in the middle of it, creating a "folder inside of a folder". (A "folder" means a story/subject). I am credited with introducing the term "Folder talk". The idea for the name for the term sources from me being unable to finish a story without going into very unimportant details about a completely different story for the reason of me having a fear of being misunderstood which results in always creating a folder inside of a folder inside of another folder. Folder talking might be irritating at times, but it's important to remember that a person who folder talks can't help it. It's necessary that you sit through the whole story, act like you are invested, interested and fully understand it.
