Forgetting is as good as journaling.
- wenc 4y agoAh, if only my brain would let me selectively forget! Journaling is actually a way to forget as long as one throws out what one writes and never revisit (which I never do). It works like an accelerated Ebbinghaus curve. That said, I suspect forgetful people are often less emotionally burdened. Similar to how heavy sleepers tend not to be grumpy people because nothing prevents them from having a good night's sleep.
- bennysomething 4y agoI'm really forgetful to the point I'm starting to worry about its impact on my career. I also ruminate like hell even about things that happened in high school, constantly feeling bad about things I said, did or didn't do.
