I have always thought that I have a very terrible memory, but on a second though I realize that I remember things very well, even the daydreams I have on a regular basis.
I have… How is it called? "Maladaptive daydreaming"?
What really happens is that I have become accustomed to mistrusting my memory because of how difficult it is for me to distinguish whether what I remember really happened or whether I imagined it.
I usually don’t think much of it because I assume it doesn’t cause me any big problems, but maybe this memory thing is a wake-up call…
Hmm, I can relate. Memory is leaky, like your dreams can mix in, so don’t trust memory, and that’s fair. What’s the alternative, like are you gonna stop daydreaming? Can you even stop daydreaming? I don’t think so. You can only accept / embrace who you are.
I was thinking about trying to stop doubting my memory. To trust more that what I remember happened, and if it didn’t, to accept it and move on. I could also take measures, like telling myself “I’m doing this” to make the difference between what I really did and what I imagined.
Ah fair, trust your memory more, yes. Reality check, like biting your finger to make sure you’re not dreaming, hard to keep doing lol.
