Strange how I've never thought of that ?!?!?!? Something to think about... I think that would explain why my memories are so vague or absent about a lot of my experiences. I actually wanted to forget them....

I was aware I had repressed a lot of memories but didn't think of it as a survival factor, which I view as something my mind would do proactively. In the past I'd viewed forgetting as a symptom of depression, something which occured unwillingly.

Either way, when I'm with a group of people and they discuss funny events in their life or great experiences, my mind goes blank trying to come up with anything similar.

thanks for replying
