Annoy people by repeating things?

Post Reply New Topic

Anyone else have this issue? I repeat many things, whether they be something I saw on TV or someone else said and it ends up bothering others.

For example, a friend of mine whenever he is hungry says so in a funny way like "I'm huuuungry" so I started repeating it but now my friends have been getting on to me about how annoying it is. I really don't mean to it just happens.

I frequently repeat things my mother says and it annoys her very much.

My son often repeats things that he has either heard or said, this is referred to as echolalia.
He also repeats things if you don't answer him immediately - mum, can I have some toast, toast, toast, toast, can I have toast, toast, toast, toast... - pretty annoying, I have to say
