It's crazy that people here have memories from when they were toddlers while I'm 29 and have a hard time remembering stuff from my early teens.

- nelblu 2y agoI am with you. That said, I feel like looking at a photo when I was very young say around 4 or 5 does seem to invoke memories about the house I grew up in. I wonder if the brain is just making up the memory or the photo is actually helping the brain access some dormant region in the brain. Further, I have also noticed that when I meditate sometimes my mind wanders and brings me some memories from the childhood - totally random, unrelated to current events memories.
- busterarm 2y agoI drank heavily from my early teens to my late-twenties. Like full-blown alcoholism. I can't remember many things from that decade+, but more significantly my sense of when things happened that I do remember is usually off by years.
- helboi4 2y agoI have memories from my whole life but only smatterings of them. When I say I have memories from being as toddler it's like a few here and there.
- wat10000 2y agoI have a decent memory for places, so-so for people, very little for events. I could draw a reasonable floor plan of my childhood home and tell you about friends and family who were there. But I could only tell you about a handful of things that happened in that place. It's not much better in more recent times. I could say much the same about everywhere I've lived as an adult.
