It might mean that the Secret World is trying to move away from superstitious or spooky content. They could be aiming for a more positive, scientific - minded environment. By stopping the telling of ghost stories, they are promoting a different kind of culture that is less focused on the unknown and frightening.
It could imply that in this Secret World, there is a new rule or social norm against sharing ghost stories. Maybe the authorities or the community leaders there think that such stories are not appropriate anymore.
One reason could be that ghost stories might scare some people too much, especially the young or those with a sensitive nature. For example, a child might have nightmares after hearing a particularly spooky ghost story.
It implies that the story or situation being referred to does not involve elements typical of a ghost story, such as apparitions, hauntings, or supernatural phenomena related to ghosts.
We should stop telling scary stories because they can cause unnecessary fear and anxiety, especially to those who are easily frightened, like young children or people with a sensitive disposition.
It could imply that the bad boy has such a strong will or is caught up in circumstances that prevent him from stopping, and this forms the basis of the story.
It could imply a hidden account of someone's prime time. Maybe it has to do with a secret talent they developed during that period.
It could imply that there are strange or unexplained things around us that we should be open to the idea of, like ghosts. Maybe the person has experienced something spooky and is suggesting others should also consider the existence of the supernatural.
Just be straightforward and tell them that scary stories make you uncomfortable or that they're not appropriate for the current situation.
It could imply that the dad has been doing things in real - life situations that are making the speaker feel embarrassed. Maybe the dad tells old and cringy stories about the speaker in front of their friends, or does something really goofy in public that makes the speaker want to hide.
It means to stop creating fictional scenarios in your head. Often, we tell ourselves stories that may not be based on reality, like imagining the worst - case scenarios. For example, if you're waiting for exam results, you might tell yourself a story that you failed miserably, when in fact, you don't know the outcome yet. By stopping this, you can focus more on the present and deal with facts rather than self - created fictions.
Try to focus on the present moment. When you catch yourself telling a story in your mind, shift your attention to what's happening around you right now.
