I’ll start. Teenage me driving up the street to hang out with friends at the mall and passed my younger neighbor and his mom. When I got back a couple hours later, the neighbor’s mom was livid - confronting me for the slight. I seriously had no idea wtf she was talking about and I couldn’t convince her otherwise.
Every study that ever comes out shows that memory is REMARKABLY fallible.
No matter how convinced you are that you remember those conversations perfectly, I encourage you to explore the idea that… maybe you don’t.
I’ve been testing it vs recordings while taking care of the elderly for the last 5 years.
The thing is that I’m really great with conversations but I’m nearly face and name blind when it comes strangers. So my memory isn’t perfect, just really good in some situations
