I have memories from when I was 3. They are blurry and scarce of details, but I know they are mine and untainted because nobody else remembered those episodes.

I have memories from when I was 3. They are blurry and scarce of details, but I know they are mine and untainted because nobody else remembered those episodes. They could confirm details they hadn't thought of until then. The same happens with more recent memories of what happened 10 or even 20 years later: not everybody remembers when I recall a shared experience, but some do. So, at least I know my brain isn't fabricating tales. What I can't understand is that most of those memories aren't traumatic. Not even of important events e.g. asking my very young mother how to tell apart left sock from right sock ;(
