Lately I've been reflecting on my life a lot and I have found that I just don't remember many things.

I've been looking up places I went to school and I'm finding that I really don't think about my past much at all.

If you thought of "the details of your past" as on a scale of 1-10

1= Can't remember my own name let alone any details.

10= Every detail is crystal clear. I remember EVERYTHING

I'd say, at best I rate a 4.

So now, I'm trying to remember stuff AND figure out why I don't remember stuff.

I've had no head injuries nor have I suffered any abuse. I guess I just suffer from CRS (Can't Remember Shit).

8-9

I would say that I am with you..... 4

Absolutely a 4 (at best).

I am about a 9-10. I seem to remember everything about my past, which is not a good idea. I remember bad times like they happened yesterday.

It's getting cloudier by the day. I used to remember everything. Now I struggle to remember my own birthday.

i'd say a 10

Depends who i was with last night and how much ale was quaffed

Maybe thats what it is, the compounded alcohol is killing my brain.

Very well. My long term memory is better than my short.

There's a lot of stuff from about 6th grade back that I can't remember whatsoever.

Same here...
I'll give myself a 3

I'll give myself a 8 or 9.

Ditto. It might sounds strange but I even got the feeling I remember veeeery old things like being born, first time seeing light, first face I saw...

5ish...I seem to have selective memory. There are things that I remember crystal clear..and others I cant remember even if I try.

I'm the rememberer amongst family and friends, and still I'd only say about 7

I'm about a four too NJ.
I run in to people I went to school with and can't remember 90% of their names.
I'm probably a two.

9

My mom NEVER believes me when I tell her about some memories I have. She's always all like "there's no way you remember that "

mom

I'm gonna go with a 7

I seem to remember those all to well

Nice to know I'm not the only one whose memory is so fuzzy!

9-10. I remember too well.

Im a 4/10

the yrs of 6 to 10 are a blur.
also think i "blocked out" some memorys....kwim?

I'd say about an 8 or 9, though I tend to recall people, places, events, etc. in a somewhat romanticized way.

It's never a good thing...makes it hard to let go.

5 at best. Anything that happened before ages 6-7 I have no memory of at all.

I am about a five, and it freaks me out a little when I run into someone I haven't seen in a decade or more and they remember everything we did together. I just nod, smile and play along.

Too much. Too damn much. I wish that my burnout and depressions had taken long term memories from my childhood instead of short term shit... but no.

10. I think about it all the time going back to the age of 4. It keeps me grounded and focused on shaping my future the right way.
