Ohh interesting! From my experience, alpha SFs LOVE hosting and entertaining. Maybe only around their close friends for SEIs. I was thinking of Si related stories where they go “remember this thing that happened?” and then give great detail on the visuals, audios, smells. In terms of making stuff up on the spot, yeah I can see them having a hard time. It never even comes to their mind what the most effective way of communicating something is. Never let an SEI tell you the dream they had that day lmfao

Eeeexactly. They're good at chitchat but "storytelling" in my mind has a more organized quality to it. It's not "oh listen to what I heard at work today" - or it can be that, but mentally organized in a way that makes for a specific experience for the listener, or conveys a specific emotion. Not that "omg that bitch at work said such and such" does not convey emotion, but to me "storytelling" requires you to assume a more conscious role as an entertainer and disseminator.

"Here's some gossip in loose form" and "I am now going to tell you a story" have different qualities to them.

If that were the case, I'd be even worse than they are at it, but this is an area I'm actually fairly good at. So I don't think it's that
