Being able to remember everything from your past is extremely rare.

You realize normal is somewhere in the middle…? Between remembering nothing and everything…?

I never said everything, and remembering nothing isn’t normal.

But the person didn't say he remembered nothing. He said half the time he didn't remember what friends talked about. Another person said they were fuzzy on their childhood.

You told both that wasn't normal and suggested childhood trama. Being slightly to one side of a normal distribution curve doesn't mean anything.

At the ages they specified, that’s NOT normal, maybe at 60 years yes, but not THAT young. You can’t just ignore key details and make your own story up.

Also, when people say half the time, it’s not a precise amount obviously, and you don’t think that’s not part of people lying to themselves? It’s probably less than half, but they don’t want to admit it, hence the approximation that’s quite obviously not the right amount.

They also stated it was half the time they don’t recall and the other half the story reminded them, so until that point, they didn’t recall anything actually… so why are you making shit up and lying here?
