do others notice the "symptoms" described in that article? as far as i can tell, i seem to be just as useless at names as i always was, and seem to be able to think just as much and as clearly as ever.
i do notice the physical side - i can't run as fast as i used to (and i am not timing myself, so it's not that one is measurable and the other not). also, my sight is really bugging me - having to hold things further and further away to read them. but thinking-wise i haven't picked up anything.
i'm 42 and write software.
- tlack 17y agoCompared to my early 20s, I'm also better at remembering names and conversations, but worse at remembering insignificant things like what I wore the day before or whether or not I locked the front door. I'm also much better at seeing connections between things rather than the facts themselves, which I think is more valuable. I think I'm reworking the way my brain learns to focus on things I think are important. For reference I'm 31 and write software.
