Reflecting on the previous post - I too hate it most when my amnesia involves others. I don't ever think I lose time at work, but there are plenty of times when others ask or tell me about things that I have no recollection of which suggests otherwise. They tell me about plans that have been jointly made, things I have said, paperwork I was supposed to complete and hand in) but I have no recollection of at all. Often these things are from the same day, previous day or previous week. But I just have no clue. I claim bad memory, apologize and move on.
Other times I have let others down because I was supposed to do something that I was supposed to know about, but didn't. For example, a relative called me to ask why I hadn't paid the parking ticket. What parking ticket, I asked. The one you got on ___ when you borrowed my car, they said. Told me the time and date and location of the ticket. I have no memory of the ticket but know I had therapy in that area on that time and date. Apparently 'I' showed them the ticket and had a lengthy conversation about it with them on the day. Promised I would pay. Now the person has received a payment overdue notice. I have no recollection at all. The person is very angry, very upset that I am saying I don't remember. I apologize and promise to pay. Person says she is sick of my constant lies, hangs up on me.
Luce feels bad.

Next question:
do you get accused of lying a lot?
