    Right, but remembering nothing isn’t normal either… especially at the young age of 30, you seem to be ignoring major details here.

    Just because some events are distorted doesn’t mean all should be. This seems to be the key part of the conversation that you’ve missed. I wasn’t absolute in any of my statements, yet you have been.

    Which is factually incorrect, you should be able to recall specific events at all part of your life, your link doesn’t say otherwise now does it…?

    The first sentence of your link says the opposite of everything you have claimed…

    Despite the vivid and convincing detail with which people can recollect emotional experiences from their past, emotional memory is malleable.

    Says its malleable, where does it say it gets erased…? You aren’t conflating these two vastly different things are you…?

      But I didn’t say you don’t remember anything. I just pointed out that anything you do think you remember…is very likely wrong. It might be correct, but you can’t know that.
