This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

My memory is like that too, extremely vague. Have you heard of SDAM (Severely Deficient Autobiographical Memory)?

Good thought, but I'm not sure since I can imagine things pretty well in my mind if it's something from adulthood (and maybe a few from late teens). I think I just don't think about things enough to retain those neural connections, maybe. It's not like people are trying to implant memories, either.

The two are often connected (aphantasia and SDAM) but not necessarily so. It's also possible it's not related at all, but I just wanted to bring it up since your experience doesn't sound like what I usually hear as the norm from most people.
