Memory Problems, vol. Is This Normal?

I knew I had to stop smokin when Im yellin at the top of my lungs in a heated argument with my girl, and then completely forget what I am saying and why. Not what ny point was, but I forget what we are arguing about, why Im angry, and what is exactly going on.
This happened like 5 times and im stuck looking stupid and shorty like wtf is up with you. Those were dark times.

Cut back burning drastically and it stop happening.
 
I'm with you OP. When I was in high school the kids would talk about movie stuff and they start to name all the characters and plots and I just think to myself "Damn I remember seeing the movie but I don't remember all those people and all the things that happened in it." It was always the kids with D averages that remembered ever single thing about the movies and I'd just be like if these ****** studied more or put their brain to something else maybe they'd be doing well in school. Like what someone said earlier, we choose to remember what we want. I'm a B average student graduating from Nursing school going into my last semester of school if that counts for anything
That humble brag :lol:

Congrats

Met my neighbor two weeks ago

Guy told me his name and I forgot it by the time the conversation ended :lol:
 
Yea I'm awful with names too

A lot of my forgetfulness in interpersonal relationships make me feel like a complete douchebag

And I should. If I felt like it were more important to me I wouldn't forget it.
 
The movie and TV show stuff I can't explain though :lol:

Like if I don't get those before the episode recaps in a TV show or read the descriptions of the previous episodes I won't remember what happened.

Bruh in your defense, those arguments are a rabbit hole into the depths of the female psyche. Who knows where that leads too. I think many of us have/had that problem.
 
ive suffered about 3-5 concussions.. if youve had a concussions it will affect your memory dramatically
 
I remember only what's remotely interesting to me. If I meet someone randomly I might as well cover up my ears when they say their name b/c it's in one ear and out the other. I've tried to get better, and I'm impressed with the progress I've made.

The strange part is i remember songs that i like fairly easily and once I know a song it's basically remembered for life.
 
Yea I think I'm gunna start making a conscious effort to start memorizing names better

I don't look at it as bad character when someone I don't expect to memorize my name doesn't, but I'm always impressed and take it as an additional sign of good character when somebody I just met does remember my name at a social event

For the life of me I'll never understand how so many people seem to be so good at recall movie plots, character names, and scenes. People have always told me I have a great memory and I tend to agree. But movies are just one of those things I've never been able to remember well.

Because your brain knows better than to waste space and resources storing memories of dumb *** movie plots
 
yikes, my vision must be going, every time i see the thread title, its "Money Problems, Vol..."

...or could I be mentally projecting my subconscious on the the screen?

My memory is terrible, I can't remember movie plots for the life of me.

I think i have selective memory, ill remember what i want to remember and doesnt seem like much :lol:

friends and family tell me i have a terrible memory and some think im joking when i forget something but I legit be clueless
 
My memory is sort of weird as well.

I have an extremely good long-term memory, but my short-term memory is terrible. I'll be telling stories from kindergarten/early elementary school, but I'll walk into certain rooms to get something and completely forget why I'm there. I'm also not very good with remembering names of people I've just met.
