As someone on the other end of the spectrum, I have an awful memory, and don't remember most of my life aside from really wide, sweeping generalizations and maybe a couple hundred very specific memories. My way of existence is also very sad, and it makes me feel like I've not really lived.
- obscurette 3y agoIt's likely that you actually have memories about details, but don't have a way to recall these memories. I always wondered how the heck people write memories until I saw someone to do it. He used a lot of triggers – photos, newspapers, letters etc. Later I had a chance to visit museum where typical home environment of my childhood was exhibited (yes, I'm that old) and realized how many memories small things can trigger in my brain.
