It’s not that I can’t remember anything, but in 23 years of being alive I have so few memories. When people ask me really specific questions (like what was your first dogs name) I can remember, but I don’t remember so much that other people seem to. Most of the names of classes I took in high school and college, what most of my teachers names were, family get together a with my cousins, etc. I have a “narrative” of my life that is practiced and ‘sounds exciting’ and I kind of think that I only remember events that make me sound cool to tell people about them rather than anything of actual importance. I know some memory loss can be caused by trauma but this seems like more than most of my friends with trauma. And even after moving out of my childhood home I still can’t remember much from after. Could it be BPD? Is it something else? I feel like if I could remember more I might have a better idea of who I am and stop changing myself as much for other people. It stresses me out and it’s exhausting. Also, any tips on how to help with memory or remembering?
