Imagine being able to remember every minute detail of your life. You can recall what the weather was like, what you were reading or what you wore to the shops at any minute, any hour or any day stretching back decades. It sounds like some kind of parlour trick, but it's actually a real and very rare medical phenomenon.

Give a little prayer of thanks every night before you go to bed that you never married one of those people.

Living with someone who just THINKS they are always right is bad enough.
Anyone who isn't paranoid in 2021 just isn't thinking clearly!

Yeah that would be bad, but how about reliving every single mistake you ever made, especially the big ones, in exquisite :pondering: detail never able to forget or blur their memory

That is why alcohol,and later,Quaalude's were invented. Taken together,forgetting your problems is a certainly. So is recognizing new ones,like setting yourself of fire while trying to light your bong.
