Are peoples personal stories exciting, fun and worth hearing? Or do they mainely benefit the story teller?

I like to be entertaining. When i share personal stories people rarely join in and entertain me with their personal stories. Stories of steeling, sneeking, running, toaking, driving, rock and roll show stories, traveling stories, stupid human stories. So i say, "I want to share a personal story, OK? Pick one of these three: the one about the purple eal, the story about sneaking into rock concerts or one about touching the taps. And people usually pick on they want to here and i entertain them with a story for a few minutes. Like the one where i fell out of a tree. Or finding an answer in the Bible. Or seeing a "Sundog" from above. Or driving the Cop car. Or the white Polynesian guy. Or the Halibut. Or the Crow. Or the Bear. Or the Bison. Or the Eagle. Or the Bear poo. Or the greatest example of drinking i have ever seen?
