tellable

Able to share

Tellable describes something suitable or worthwhile for telling—a story, secret, or piece of news that merits sharing: Is this even a tellable story, or will people just shrug?

The word implies narrative quality or social appropriateness.

Some experiences are too mundane, too private, or too painful to be tellable.
