I literally only remember like the outlines of events, I don’t remember like the colors of clothing, or exact words of converasations, or like smell of the room. How the f do people remember that stuff? Like, no way they have photographic memory, do they just partly invent detail?


It definitely varies between people as well. For instance, my sister (with no genetic relation to me) has much better memory than me, which seemed almost superhuman to me when I was growing up. Although, I have since realized that my memory is much worse than average, to the extent where I probably have one or more memory disorders. I’m sure that some people have memory that is much better than average, whether or not my sister is one of them.
