How much do you remember?

[K14~♡]

I noticed that I don't remember much memories from more than 1 year ago. I wondered what I was doing when I was 17 (which was 2 years and 4 months ago) and my mind just went blank at first, but I did remember a few details after some minutes. I can prob remember some more and if think about it further and backtrack

I remember my childhood even less, and I wish I could remember more so that I can identify just what went wrong. I barely remember any emotions from that period too (other than maybe 3 instances which I only recalled while typing this post). I used to think that I was an emotionless and indifferent child cuz I don't remember feeling anything or caring about anyone. I realized though that I can't be sure about this, cuz again, I barely remember

I mostly feel detached from my memories, except from the previous year's memories which I still feel some connection to. My past self doesn't feel like myself, well I guess that's true in a way. But it feels like, my life only started recently, and that the years prior aren't mine

This is all prob just a normal thing, but I sometimes wonder if it's supposed to be this way

How is it like for you guys?

I have huge gaps in my memory, but there are certain specific interactions or events that stay with me usually when I'm in a more emotional state.
Also a lot of useless information that I don't *want* to remember seems to stay with me which I hate.
It's like my brain is full of garbage data I can never remember the things I want to.

My memory is weird. I remember how I felt in a situation very well. Thousands of events in my life. I remember the emotional state I was in during. Some of these memories are more than 40 years old. But the details are sketchy at best. Especially going way back.

This is one big difference between me and my brother. Like when we hear a joke, he can tell it word for word a year later. All I can recall is the general gist and that it was funny. His is a much more useful memory!

Your comments about feeling like it was another person or another life beyond a few years are fascinating though. That's not my experience. I mean we all change but that seems like a huge seismic shift so that your old self isn't recognisable as you anymore. I wonder if there was a significant event in there that triggered it?

Oooo, you siblings seem to have good memory retention? Though in different aspects. I think it's also useful to remember how you felt in past situations

I wonder if there was a significant event in there that triggered it?

I would like to know too if there's any TT I don't remember any significant events that could cause this. I think detachment from my past self is likely due to my dissociation?
