I’m experiencing the same thing with regard to memory. I’m not sure the cause. While I used to be able to recite full conversations, tell you the color of the trim of that car I was in one time nine months ago, and tell you the shape of the dust lying on the convenience store counter, etc. I can’t do that anymore. But I also think a lot more about a lot of other things that either didn’t concern me when I was younger or weren’t my responsibility.
Maybe now I can’t remember things because I’m not experiencing them as thoroughly because I’m always thinking about something else. Or maybe I just realize a lot of details don’t matter. Or maybe it’s just age and my brain doesn’t work as well. Or maybe it’s accumulated damage of twenty years of occasional consumption of alcohol.
- axaxs 6y agoYeah, you might be right...maybe we just store so much we start evicting the LRUs so to speak. One other phenomena I've noticed is that I've begun misspelling words a lot. Not like poor spelling, but using their/there/theyre incorrectly, homophones like fill/feel, or plural is vs plural are, etc. I know these things, it's like my brain goes into autopilot. Probably payback for always correcting people when I was a smartass of a younger person.
