Nah, it's just shitty memory. I have had quite the happy childhood, actually.
I don't find myself reminiscing a lot and in the rare cases I do, there are quite some gaps. Even in more recent times. If I really try to dig, maybe it comes back, but I assume it's "use it or lose it".
Yeah, I have shitty memory too... Sometimes my friends talk about something we did 15-20 years ago and half the time it unlocks a memory, the other half I can't recall at all
Yeah, that’s it normal, hence why they remember and you don’t dude… you don’t think that’s not strange? That multiple friends recall events easily and you don’t…?
That still ain’t normal dude. You’re supposed to be able to recall memories from any point of your life…
So, what's your point? Other people might have a lot more boring childhood anecdotes to tell, but it's not like I'm suffering in any kind. I still remember people or useful skill - the stuff I do use.
As an added benefit of growing up quite poor, I probably just had less unique experiences I actually could recall. Like, I've been on three travel vacations overall. Kinda like those COVID years blurred together for most people.
