OK. I have an absolutely terrible memory. I will remember in minute detail the must inane shit, but can't remember people for shit. Seriously, this month back in the country I keep running into people when I'm up at school, and they ask me how I'm doing and I DON'T REMEMBER THEM AT ALL. After some trickery, I can get a name, how I know them, and small various other trinkets of information. At that point I have a recollection that I don't know if it's real or a reconstruction.

This goes into all sorts of information. I can't remember a single name of a teacher I had in middle school. I can hardly remember the names of the kids I hung out with in elementry school. Whenever childhood media comes up I feel left about because I can't remember a single thing.

What I'm basically saying is, selectbutton, are there any medicines/supplements/vitamins that can help my memory? I think there is a serious problem when I don't remember people I've aparantly met and been around multiple times.

Remember me Rud13.

Remember me or I will cut you.

I have a fairly good memory. Generally though if I can't put a name to a face I get an intense fight-or-flight sensation and immediately try and avoid inital eye contact before trying bail the fuck out of the situation. If that fails then its time for some QTE conversing with someone I obviously found nothing appealing about. Can you keep the inane banter up? Who will be the first to initiate an awkward silence?! At the end comes the satisfaction of besting them in a subconcious battle of wits and the thought that maybe, just maybe, they'll think twice before jamming their face in someone's field of view again.

HAH.

[Hot Stott Bot]

I have a really good memory.

I remember lots.

Especially people.

Walking down the hall, across the street, eating in a random restaurant, so many faces stick out like sore thumbs as someone I once talked to once several years ago and I remember everything about them.

Of course, they don't remember me so I pretend to ignore them becuase I don't really have a reason to want to know them better and they obviously don't remember me anyways.

Well, maybe they do remember me.

I've been told I'm rather unforgettable...

I used to take something called Fosfoglutina, that is basicly Vitamin B6 with some topping. Albeit it was to improve my studies (and quite successfull at it), it improved my "social" memory quite a bit as well.

I have a horrible facial memory, as well as names, events, and people I meet on a daily basis, including group partners and family. I have to use "outside" markers, like clothing, body posture or hair, and that's a recipe for disaster.

And now for my Psiga moment:

[Takashi]

It's a prescription drug in Portugal, but any vitamin supplement that has over 50mg Pyridoxine should be the same - The rest is just phosphate, calcium and glutamine, generic stuff.

You don't remember those people because you don't give a fuck about them. Start giving a fuck, and you will remember.

[chompers po pable]

i think it has something to do with ska rudie. i haven't listened to ska in years and i have been good to go memory wise.

hell, once i was with my friend driving down the street, it was a clear sunny day, and i was drinking a coke. then, all of a sudden, i accidentally switched the radio to a ska station! all of a sudden my buddy starts swerving and accelerating madly through stop signs. luckily, just before we ran over ziggy marley, i turned off the radio, and he slammed on the brakes. afterward my friend told me he forgot everything he knew when that ska came blasting through those speakers, and if i hadn't turned it off, we'd have killed ziggy marley and he'd have suffocated (he forgot to breath)...and i could have spilled my coke.

[Craptastic!]

I've heard that something in blue berries can help with memory.

I like to consider myself intelligent, but the truth is that I generally feel, inside my head, slow, vapid, and dull. It seems like a bigger problem than just memory, though I'm not too hot at that either. I occassionally consider the possibility that I'm retarded. Then I experience a vivid and brilliant intuitive flash connecting two disparate ideas into a larger picture and I'm excellent; but then it occurs to me that maybe this discovery was obvious to everyone else all along.

I need to get to a point where I no longer attempt to judge myself in any regard, since I obviously suck at it.

This is probably the last place where I should publicly announce being a retard!

[dongle]

exercise, keep a regular sleep schedule for 7+hrs per night, eat healthy food, avoid weird chemicals/processed shit, take yr vitamins + omega 3s, etc.

also, you can practice memorizing stuff to help your memory.

[Predator Goose]

[CubaLibre]

My memory is totally bizarre: it's split between personal and non-personal information.

So like, I'll remember quite well all kinds of intellectual shit. Not even inane, random facts, although those as well - real things, like passages from literature, and fairly detailed arguments from mathematical and scientific papers.

But I can only barely remember significant life events, if at all. No details. It makes me feel like a replicant.

My long term memory is poor, I have trouble academically because of this. I keep a fairly complete archive of my own work so I can study myself. When people ask what I've studied, I always enthusiastically tell them about what I am currently studying in the hope that it satisfies their question.

Sometimes people tell me interesting stories involving me, and I feel that I've lost something important from my life by having no memory of pieces of it, or in some cases memories so weak that I would have mistaken them for memories of a dream. I'm making it sound worse then it is, anyway I think part of why I like videogames is that they provide experiences that can be relived.

[internisus]

That was unexpected and much appreciated, especially since I am trying to start playing again.

[Mr. Apol]

i remember all sorts of dumb stories that i thought were funny at the time

so maybe i only have comedic memory?

i can't see how this is a terribly bad thing.
