I don’t remember telling “anyone” the story, so I get excited I have a relevant story to tell, and they interrupt me 2 sentences in saying they have heard it before, which breaks my excitement and I get sad my memory is shit.
I do sympathize with your sadness and don’t really know how to help here. I can definitely admit to telling the same story more than once, but there are certain people that live in a calcified version of their past. Those are the ones that most annoy me. Once or twice, fine. The same stories every single day for years on end is tough.

I don’t know the solution either, I was just venting :p
