I think about it sometimes. My family got McDonald’s and my dad said he didn’t want any fries. So he didn’t get any. Then he all of a sudden decided he did want fries and asked if I could have some of his. I said to go ask my brother.

I just felt frustrated that he said he didn’t want any and then asked for some of mine 5 minutes after we got home to eat.

Probably should just let this go.

I have this dumb autobiographical memory and it really isn’t fun because you dwell on random **** that happened 15 years ago that most people would have long forgotten about.

Do you mean it was rude of him to ask for fries after he says he didn’t want any? I don’t think it’s a big deal. Not rude, rude would be if he started eating your food without asking
Thanks for this!

I was on a school trip and we went out to eat and one of the teachers started grabbing this big piece of chicken off my plate and I snapped at her a bit and everyone looked at me like I was the one in the wrong.

Do you remember events correctly? It sounds insane

I have a question about your memory: can you just bring this stuff to the forefront of your mind or does something have to “poke the memory awake” if that makes sense?

Because I can sometimes remember a lot (that I don’t want to) but I feel like I have to be in a state and have something poke it. My therapist says I have different “dissociative Sam’s” and I think some hold certain memories better than others. Like right now I can’t remember anything but I know I’ve written about stuff I don’t remember but I read it and it’s like “oh yeah that did happen!How’d I remember that??”

I day dream a lot. Which I guess a lot of people with my type of memory do. So normally I’ll just see something random on TV or on Facebook and I’ll have all these memories of random stuff that kinda go back to what I was seeing. If that makes sense.

Yeah I remember things correctly. I often remember what people were wearing or where they were sitting from memories from 30 years ago
It is insane but I can also get pretty depressed when I have a memory of something. I have read that people with this have higher levels of depression.

I didn’t mean it’s insane to remember things. I meant it’s insane that teacher took chicken off your plate and ate it.

Oh. ha yeah that was insane. That whole school was effed up. We spent most of the time having free time and watching non educational movies. The teachers aide would randomly bring in Taco Bell and pizza for us. I graduated in 2012 so I wonder how the schools are now.

What it’s now? Nothing what you described.

And my daughter graduated in 2007. Absolutely didn’t have free time or eating Taco Bell. I’ve never worked at or attended or know anyone who knows such schools at all

It’s insane.

Do you ruminate? I ruminate like mad. Also have ocd I think. I can obsess about anything and analyze everything to death. I got an engineering degree and that's what we do but I analyze social interactions like crazy.
I'm obsessed with hockey photos right now. And I lived near Valley Forge and got obsessed with the Revolution. It's a neat place to visit. The troops would bath in the river a mile away and the museum has tools used by surgeons like molar extractors.

Yeah I ruminate a ton and feel bad about minor crap that happened 25 years ago. I don’t think I have OCD. Every once in awhile I’ll do this thing where I think “something bad will happen if this guy lands on bankrupt on Wheel Of Fortune.” Or something similar. I seem to have gotten that mostly under control.

I can’t eat Tootsie Rolls because of something that happened when I was 2. And they taste like guilt.
