I think I got my habit of repeating myself from growing up with my addict mom. She was often really zoned out mentally, so she only remembered about 10% of what I said (if that). I'd have conversations with her that she didn't remember at all. I'd tell her something important, and she wouldn't know what I said 15 minutes later. So, I have this tendency to repeat myself. I'm sure it gets annoying for some of the people around me. It's something I'd like to work on.
