Is it normal that i remember negative memories better than nice ones?
I remember almost every single bad thing that's happened to me, from being hit, abused, yelled at, sexually assaulted, manipulated, lied to... anything under the book, really, but I hardly remember any Good memories. Usually any good memory I do have is attached to something negative.
For example, one good memory i have is when i was bought a giant art set (probably 5-6 years old at the time) that was similar to an easel and i was painting happy, where I then asked if my oldest brother was my dad. When he told me no, i asked where my dad was, and was told that he was dead and had been so before I was born.
Another good memory: I went to chucky cheese for the first time, where I got on the frog ride and hated it because it moved too fast. Granted i never liked the "bounce the kid on your knee" game because i had bad health problems and it made me stop breathing. I later went to the giant tubes, got stuck/lost, and cried for an hour before someone found me. I lastly went to the bumper cars, after screaming that I didn't want to try it out, got bumped once and smashed my nose on the steering wheel and climbed out in the middle of the session.
I hardly remember a nice memory. Is that normal?
