I have always had a bad memory, even when I went to school it was bad. But I am sometimes surprised that now approaching 72 years of age I can remember some things that happened 50 plus years ago.
It was only last night that I suddenly remembered the name of my school teacher, Braun Junkers, that in 1962 , when I had only turned 15, said to me ,,, You have a learning disability and it's best you don't come back to school next term. Teachers know all the answers, so I followed his advice.

I guess this has happened to you ,,, parked your car and forgot exactly where ? Well I found mine , or should I say the police found mine after I had reported it stolen.
Remember that good friend of yours called,,,,,,, Mate. Well I have many friends ,,all called ''Mate ''

Sometimes my memory is so good I wish I could forget everything in my life.

Sometimes very good, sometimes very bad. An example: If I lend money to someone, I will never forget it, but if I owe someone money, I always forget it.

You haven’t forgot where the comma key is that’s for sure.

Don't be too sure. Maybe he thought it was the space bar.

the past few years ive seen a noticeable change in my brain functioning due to the effects of CTE (dementia pugilistica) from boxing/kickboxing, one of the effects is memory loss, probably the most annoying/frustrating is having to constantly write reminders in my phone now if i need to do/remember something, because if i dont, ill end up forgetting
another thing that ive noticed thats started happening a lot more recently is forgetting people, whether it be people coming up to me who i feel ive never met before, but they know me, or sometimes i bump into people that i recognise/feel like i know, but no idea where from, and im left with that horrible de ja vu feeling trying to rack my brain to little effect

i think i find it more frustrating because i used to pride myself of having a 'memory like an elephant' but now i cant trust myself at all, and the worst thing is im only 31!!

I'm 70+ and my memory is generally good, but I notice that it is getting less.
The problem is at my age, you have to much to remember.
