this happens way more than I'd like to admit. even just day dreams clutter my memory at this point.

I'm with this anon.

>Feel regret about things that happened in my childhood. Torment myself over them, then realise they didn't happen.

I, I want to go, I want to run, run to the sound, sound of my dream

>>34895714
sorta opposite for me, loads of positive memories are just fantasies. I honestly can't remember a positive experience with people that for sure happened.

>tfw i never had any friends and my parents never allowed me to go outside so my only good memories are of daydreaming about having a life, going on adventures with my imaginary friends, etc.
>tfw my inner world has reached a level of sophistication, depth and breadth so vastly superior to my dull and drab existence in the so called real world, i feel no desire to interact with humans outside of /r9k/ and no desire to do anything with my life because it could never live up to the exhilaration and satisfaction of daydreaming every waking minute.
>tfw i'd be satisfied with having locked-in syndrome and being force fed, bathed, etc. just so i'd have less distractions keeping me from daydreaming

As you get older I think memories get more and more idealized as well. Good moments you will look on as extraordinary and bad incidents will seem worse then they actually were at the time.

>Mfw I still have nightmares and waking fantasies about collect but objectively it wasn't that bad of an experience

Bump for interesting thread. Its partly the reason why courts treat eye witness evidence with a large degree of skepticism if the crime was alleged to have been committed decades ago. Human memory is extremely fallible. I could not give you an accurate description of everything I did last week.

>have clear and vivid memories of an event from childhood
>relatives tell me that's not how it went at all
>i insist
>they show me a vhs tape and it confirms their version
what the fuck

Often what we think about the event - the feelings associated with it - cloud the reality especially after long periods of time.

>continually lie about my life to other people to seem more interesting
>eventually can't remember if its actually a lie or not

Id love to know about your inner world anon

>Day dream about what i'd do for my girlfriend if i had one.
>Think up all sort of stuff like where we live and what stuff we'd buy at IKEA because we're not well off.
>Find recipes for valentines day dinners on youtube. Full 3 course.
>Spend all valentines day morning making enough for two people so i can be ready for when i get a girlfriend.

I guess i'm at that point in life where i realize how much of a failure i am. I'm in my 20s doing highschool classes because i'm a giant fuck up.

I remember my mom hitting me once and her explanation was that i was doing something "evil" to my brother when both me and my brother remember it as us playfighting.
