Sometimes I think my memory is faulty, too. I'm never sure if what I remember actually happened the way I think it did. This leaves me feeling unsure of myself and hesitant to bring up memories. |
it's very interesting you bring up memory and remembering things.
while my memory is terrible (for remembering numbers, what happens in movies/ books, people's names, what i have to do in a day, even studdying), i sucked at school majorly- despite all that, i've never had a problem remembering jokes.
it's like for jokes i have an entire diffrent memory- where nothing else is stored, only jokes.
that's how it works for me.
my memory issues though (let's call it my main memory), hvae led to some interesting and embarrasing situations- probably the worst is the days when i can't remember if i've actually eaten dinner that day, and end up either not eating or eating the same meal twice
