Do you feel like it only affects your personal memories or also your memory about facts? Like did you find studying for school hard or was that unaffected?

- drowsspa 3y agoNot OP, but at least for me remembering random facts is much easier than remembering what happens in my own personal life. So I never found memory to be an issue when studying.
- LVB 3y agoI find studying and remembering technical information pretty straightforward, and I’d say I’m actually good at it if I think about my work life. Synthesizing lots of disparate (sometimes old) data is something folks say I do well. When I introspect about this I feel like because these things are discrete, they’re easier to place into a category, or relate to some other fact. But experiences are a mass of sensory and emotional “data” that doesn’t cleanly get associated. Or that’s at least how it feels. Somewhat related is how the whole “memory palace” techniques fail completely for me. I can barely come up with the outlandish visuals, and even if I do, I don’t remember what they are, so it’s a useless system for me.
