Forgetting stuff

[dannyyisntt]

My GF swears I don't listen to her, but honestly I just forget what she said.

It's not that I'm ignoring, I'm just not capable of retaining what you're saying.

I donno which is worse, admitting to not listening, or admitting that I totally forgot what she said. Both make her feel like what she just said is not important to me.

Tell her you were too busy picturing her sister/mom/friends nude to listen to her.

I remember useless shit, but cant for the life of me remember names.

Story of my life

[rturbo 930]

I regularly forget where I put tools/parts down when I'm working on something. Lay it down, 2 seconds later I can't remember where. 75% of the time I work on something I'm looking for tools I just put down.

I do that all the time. I'm still missing the majority of a socket set...

I like people who say weed hurts your memory, as I watch my friend who never smoked in his life with a masters degree forget shit all the time and do what you guys say "I put it right here and now it's gone"

he remembers the dumbist shit always getting Jepordy show questions right.

I'll put things places, just random places, and when I need them 6 months later I can go right to them.

Or my GF will put something somewhere. I'll see it out of the corner of my eye. Months later she'll be looking for it and I'll either go get it, or tell her to a T where it is.

...but yet when I lay tools down for two seconds I can't fucking find them.

WTF?

Having epilepsy and consequently smoking weed to calm it down I'm constantly forgetting stuff. What sucks is that at this point every new seizure is more and more permanent brain damage. I literally won't be able to remember people or situations from like a day before sometimes.

I make sure that if its homework or some article of clothing I need to take to work etc, that I have it in a place waiting for me in advance in an area I know I will need to go walk by so I can't forget it. I also tell all my room mates whats going on so that they can be reminders. That and just making events on my calender on my phone for everything helps out a lot.

Last night I was thinking of a song then 2 minutes later my gf started singing it. I was freaked out, I felt like she read my mind. I said "Why are you singing that song I was just thinking of that". She said "You were just singing it, are you serious?" I had no recollection of singing that song I thought I was just thinking it in my head.

I also forget where stuff goes.

Ex.

Cereal in fridge and milk in pantry.
it happens too often.

I'm also like others and forget why I've gone into some rooms one I get there.

My memory sucks for some things, i.e., I can meet someone a half dozen times & still not remember their name, I tell my girlfriend repeatedly about stuff that happens to me at work and such, often 2-3 times over the course of a coupe days, and she'll tell me things sometimes which I seem to immediately forget.

On the flip side I'm really good about remembering things I need, or where I put stuff. It really bothers me when I lose or forget stuff, so I've developed systems for keeping stuff organized.

I've hit my head a lot (concussions galore), and I smoke pot, which I'm sure both are contributing factors. Compounding that, my grandfather died of Alzheimer and my grandmother has dementia, so I'm gonna lose my mind sooner or later, I think.

spencer, you finna have alzheimers at the age of 25..

I do feel the rest of you guys on objectively walking into a room and mindlessly walking out empty handed.
this shit especially happens when I'm not sober.

[Tamataz]

I absolutely think my memory is shit compared to the average person lol.

Could that have something to do with concussions?
