How good is your memory?
Can you remember your previous phone numbers, addresses or even all the people you've ever dated?

I can remember the address of two places I lived as a kid...but none from my adult years or even the address where I lived before I moved here. Phone numbers are always a blank. And I do not remember the names of the people I've dated (might not have known their name at the time in the first place...LOL!)

My memory sucks. I can remember all the girls I have "dated" and their phone numbers, as I am still friends with ALL of them. But other than that, I killed my memory. I'm worse than an old man sometimes.

nothing wrong with being old, i mean elderly, i mean matured, seasoned, aged gracefully.

My memory is bad...it got bad a few years ago. I think it may be all the medication or the illness, I'm not sure

I remember all these things (because of lack of data, lol), including the names, birthdates et cetera of all the people I have taken an interest in...

I honestly think you remember what you want to remember or what you deem important information. The rest gets thrown right out of your mind.

i have a really bad memory because i taught myself to block out alot of my child hood so i do it with alot of other things too. i know that i've had at least 20 different phone numbers in my life therefore it would be impossible to remember them all... i had a friend when i was in grades 4-6 and she had a list of all my phone numbers as i got them shed scratch off the old and put the new one haha... as for addresses i remember all of them after grade 4 (we moved ALOT since then)

I just have a bad memory because I don't pay close enough attention.
