10 Reasons Not to Trust Your MemoryThankfully I still recall recent events as recent and long ago events as long ago. And thankfully I have never accidentally copied someone's idea thinking it was mine. I don't think anyone has ever done anything to erase any of my memories or plant false ones. BUT, I have definitely done the "walk in a room and forget why I came" thing. And I tend to recall negative events very well. I'm actually glad to hear that's normal. I sometimes worried it was the mark of a negative personality or something. One thing they didn't talk about but which happens to me and I know it has happened to DS #1 as well, is being tricked into thinking you actually remember something when in reality you've just seen photos or heard the story about an event so often that it begins to feel like you actually remember it.

Walk in a room and forget why I came- This one for SURE! Frequently. The tip of the tongue one as well. Definitely more than once a week. :-P I have a terrible memory.

It's reassuring that the negatives are remembered to protect us from repeating dangerous things.

Hallways erase my memories. Why am I in the hallway? On my way SOMEWHERE for SOME reason....

I knew there was one I was forgetting (How's that for appropriate?). The tip-of-the-tongue thing drives me crazy!!

I have a terrible time remembering names of people I don't know well. I can't for the life of me remember my new hairdresser's name. I can see her face, the name is gone.
