I hardly remember anything from my childhood like what i did, who i met, family vacactions, the friends i had, school teacher nothing. It's like I remember what i was doing in a certain time period but not specifics. For a example i went out with a guy for 4 1/2 years i know when we got together and broke up but not what we did during that time. We spent a lot of time together and i can only remember a couple days. It's like i don't remember conversations, relations i've had, why i dislike people or why they dislike me, places i've gone ect. Every year that passes it seems like i forget is that normal to not remember or is it just me?

    Yes, it's normal. Unless it's very important to you, your brain will most likely forget in some point of time. I use that skill with relationships; If I had to go through a break up and I still love someone, I try to do as many new things as I can, or meet as many new people as possible, that way the brain over time just no longer cares for certain memories, and either they're erased or not cared about.
    Normal!

    I can remember many things vividly which is a great pleasure, but I've still forgotten more than 95% of what's passed.

    I have the same problem.
    Either it wasn't important then or it's not important now. Maybe the brain does away with information if it hasn't been used in forever, make room for more I guess.
    The things I remember are things I have to think really hard about and it might take me days to make the connection again. It's some neuro-science shit that I don't care about. But yes.
    I vote normal.
