cringe memory

The phenomenon where we're ironically better in remembering embarrassing moments*

*compared to the moments when we've done all the things we should do

I was trying to recall my achievements, but all I could think about were the cringe memory, like the time I tripped in front of my crush during the school assembly.

eidetic memory

Eidetic memory is the rare ability to recall a highly detailed image for a brief period after seeing it only once, without using any mnemonic device. While this phenomenon is most often observed in children, it's debated whether it exists in adults, and scientific evidence proving its reality is lacking. The ability is thought to involve strong brain connections, efficient synapses, and is sometimes associated with synesthesia, a neurological condition.

Did you see how fast Tania remembered every detail from that painting? She must have eidetic memory or something!

Repressed Memories

Oh! That ties into the very thing I was just saying.

Hym "I was talking explicitly about repressed memories. Where I ask if you have ever wonder whether or not you have any repressed memories and then I as an example I say 'Like do I have any repressed molestation memories' and then I tie that in to an anecdote about a sleep over I had once as a child. But as I said in the second to last post, if I call in to question whether or not something is the case, THEY lie and say that I made an affirmative claim and then they pretend to debunk that very claim that I did not actually ever make. And if you want to know why they do it Bonnie, it's because UNLIKE SCHOOL SHOOTERS they needed to be instructed to do it by someone. Someone who knew what I wrote, made a decision to attribute to me a claim that I didn't ever make, and then told other people both that I made some claim and then fabricated out of thin air the negation of that claim. So what they do is 'He said this but actually it's this and he's bad.' But there was no 'He said.' That actually occurred. And then they omit entirely the fact that THE CONCLUSION... ALREADY HAPPENED. The conclusion because Jorfan Peterson saying 'That's not actually who repressed memories work.' And then me going 'Oh. OK.' And then it was done. But they are trying to drag this out a much as they possibly can because THEY KNOW that they stop mattering the second this is over."

junkyard memory

The memory that you have in your brain, but still require you to revisit deeply — e.g. when you started high school in Japan on Tuesday, April 2nd 1991

You know those memories that need a little digging into? That’s a junkyard memory. Like when you started high school in Japan on Tuesday, April 2nd 1991—it’s there, but you have to sift through the layers to really recall it.

Covid Memory Fog

This is a way of defining a person who cannot or remembers very little of anything pre 2020/during the Covid Pandemic. This could be due to people's substance use during the pandemic or their inability to do anything with their lives. Including, binge watching anime for hours. Playing video games for hours. Drinking or smoking themselves to death. Or just flat out introverted behavior.

James: Hey we met before?
Earl: No i'm from New York
James: Yeah i went to high school in New York... you have Covid Memory Fog dude...
Or
James: do you remember the time we went to the bar and had that big fight with those 4 guys?
Earl: Fight? I've never fought ever?
James: Dude we were talking about it for weeks in College? You have Covid Memory Fog!

Memory

There is a distinction there that you are not making.

Hym Iam "Give me a fucking break! The can't even decide whether or not to hang a plaque. They could have told me at any time what was happening and I could have fixed it and instead they tried to use me as a chain and turn you into Anima. The second... I am gone... The are going to do the EXACT same thing AGAIN. Memory.
