Is it normal to have suppressed memories

I have as suspicion that I was abused when I was very young but can't recall, I've always been very sexually aware and curious, one of my earliest memories is trying to see my friends vagina.

    Maybe you were, maybe you weren't. There are people who would be happy to "help" you recover the memories, usually for a fee. Of course, there have been numerous cases where the "recovered" memories of abuse have later been proven to be completely fictitious, but only after the lives of the "abusers" (usually men) were destroyed, and the wider family relationships completely blown up.

    People who work in the field of recovering memories usually have an agenda, and they often have some serious psychological issues themselves which they work out at the cost of others.

    Some kids are naturally curious about sex from a very early age. If one of your earliest memories is of something sexual, that could just mean that you knew that what you were doing was was "naughty" and it stuck in your mind because it was very unusual.

    My view is that forgotten childhood events are best left undisturbed, unless it seems possible that they are causing problems for you in the here and now.

    Knocked it out of the park.
    Well said.
    Deal with your life.
    This idea of repressed memories.
    B please.
    I remember getting spanked at a very early age.
    Now they tell me I couldn't have remembered it.
    I was to young.
    Think I wouldn't suppress that?
    You might cloud things, but you remember.
    So what you're sexualy curious.
    So was I.
    Some things happened that shouldn't have, but I remember them.
    So do you.
    Don't try to dig up things that aren't there.
