I probably qualify for HSAM. I'm often reminding people of how we met, or a relevant conversation or interaction, and I can read them back what we talked about, what we ate, what the weather was like, those kinds of details. It's not as complete as a lot of the examples I've seen, where you can name a date and the person can recall everything, but I definitely haven't met anyone with a better memory, on average, than I have - with the possible exception of my mother, which suggests it's to some degree genetic.
- cassianoleal 4y agoI have terrible memory generally but I can recall how I met most of the friends I've made in adulthood, conversations we had etc. the same way you seem to do. This is a mnemonic device though. The person is the device. I see them (or think about, talk to them, etc) and those memories come back kind of like a stream of things related to them.
