Is it normal that i have much better memory than people around me?

5 Comments

I don’t really remember when but I think it was two weeks ago when I was with my friends, when I remembered what happened on a day month before that. I think I was walking through a forest or a shopping mall, when I saw a lifeguard fall down from her tower while watching the colorful parrots in the zoo. My siblings I was with were so amazed I could remember such thing from such a long time ago. I think I might very good memory compared to others? Is this normal? Are there people like me?

    Everyone’s different, some just naturally have better memories than others

    Some fifty year old family woman helped convict a man into lifetime imprisonment I think, maybe even capital punishment, based solely on her recollection. After some time more evidence came up and his innocence was actually proven.

    It's well documented in psychology for people's memories to distort after some time, and the person is none the wiser. Memory is one of those things I try to have extreme hubris with. I wouldn't be so cavalier as to daintily proclaim mine to be the best or self-sufficiently flawless

      Do you remember being born, and everything else?....

      To me that's what "remember everything" means...

      My guess is that you have a fair amount of amnesia... you just don't remember what you forgot.
