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…

    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.
