How the hell do people have such good memories?

>Like they know the words to all their fave songs, they can quote lines from movies they watched like a decade ago, they remember picture-perfect renditions of their childhood memories, they can summarize a book they read effectively

And 90% you go to the actual thing and found out they remembered it wrong

could be reading something and the words will literally disappear 3 seconds after I've read them.

I remember memes.

I can't remember a thing from the past few months but I can clearly recall running through a park with a ball and my dad calling my name like 16 years ago

Set your standards low like low I mean im eating cheetos right now best time of the week

My memory has been steadily declining. I carry around a pocket full of notecards so I can write stuff down that I need to remember.
I'm failing classes because I read something and then it's just gone.
Whole days are just gone, and larger lengths of time too.
I've been told that it's anxiety that does this. as a defense mechanism your brain deletes memories. Happy people get to keep all their memories. Unhappy people delete them unconsciously.

This can't be real, I'm schizophrenic and forget most of what I did the day before and I'm better than 75% of people on this test? This is just one of those "feel good about results then pay me for more details" type of tests.

i'm calling you plebs because I have no real achievements in life

its not that their memories are good and yours is bad. its that they have memories they want to remember. you dont.

>living with untreated clinical depression has destroyed my memory

I literally can't remember what I had for breakfast.

>>36871252
>feel good about the results
it's a memory game, it can't really be tampered with
>schizophrenic
Then maybe long term memory is being effected by your condition? There are multiple brain structures dedicated to memory, I wouldn't be surprised if schizophrenia messes with long term memory encoding

Hmm, well given that on average people can only remember up to 7 digits, I guess this really isn't the best "catch-all" test for all types of memory then

It's weird, I remember that the video store by my house used to have a 5 movies for 5 days for 5$ deal going on, but I can't remember where I put my boxcutter at work 3 seconds after using it.
