I scarcely recognize the person I was at 19 as the same person as me.
I have almost no recollection of school except for maybe a couple of dozen moments and a handful - no more than 4 or so - acquaintances. They were friends at the time, but we went to different colleges in different towns, we're not close now.
I remember books I read, but they're detached from a timeline. I remember programming - that was the most formative thing I learned, and it was outside school - but I have very little recollection of actual time spent, just that I did a huge amount of learning.
- jhrmnn 2y agoI have it the same! But it’s not common. People are always puzzled by this lack of episodic memory.

- JauntTrooper 2y agoWow... really? I'm in my 40s and I remember my school days vividly. I remember like ~20-30 specific lessons and events from 4th grade alone.
