You think it's better not to experience life? To endeavor to not understand yourself better?
When you're sad and going through all of those emotions and your brain is releasing its chemicals, you're gonna understand all of the intimate details and make much better rationalizations and integrations.
If you put it off until you forget things, you're not learning anything. You're not gonna figure out what put you in that situation, what to avoid and look out for in the future, how to navigate situations. That's not taking responsibility at all. It's letting your mind go blank so backwards rationalization can set in.
You don't put it off until you forget. You only it off for a small amount of time: a few days for really big things, and a hour or two for smaller things.
You can forget a lot in a few days, and a few hours. Short term memory is just less than an hour; how much stuff do you not remember each hour?
If you have the capacity to cry, like if you can do it and not be disturbed, or maybe only have to interact with someone fond of you, then you should do it. You can honestly feel, I'm talking really feeling stronger than before. I've ignored stuff too and all that's done is give me experiences I could never incorporate into my life and it gives rise to defense mechanisms galore.
Rubbing alcohol stings on fresh scrapes, but it protects you from infection, right?

I suppose that you think your way; I think mine. I don't think either of us will convince eachother.
