uhh... I forgot...
 
How forgetful do you consider yourself to be? I for one have lost several umbrellas, water bottles, and even a couple phones throughout my life thanks to my everlasting forgetfulness and absent-mindedness :( I've been trying for years to fix it but I just can't ever be consistent...

I'm forgetful occasionally not a lot though.

My memory has definitely suffered over the past few years. My friends keep telling me that I can't remember certain events we've shared together, and they get baffled when I share a memory I have that they can't recall. It's kind of become a joke that my mind kept itself from falling apart by filling the cracks with fabricated memories.

Or maybe I'm remembering things wrong. I forget.

very. my bf would tell me something and I'd forget it minutes later, I also tend to forget a lot of things from the past while he remembers too. probably cause my brain doesn't think those things are important enough to retain (like I'd forget we had a certain meal before and whether or not I liked it), but... still :'( I need memory training!

I used to lose all my belongings to the point it became frustrating but I haven't had that issue in a while! I once left a DS in a taxi when I was 9 without realising until 2 hours later (somehow we got it back though :D)

In terms of remembering details, I'm not forgetful at all. If someone tells me a detail about them, I'm very likely to remember it. I can recall a lot of old conversations/memories that people have otherwise forgotten about. No idea why that's the case but I think it can be good at times!

My memory is so bad that they gave me a test to see if I had Dementia.

i'd say it's okayish. there are things that will forever leave an imprint on me like my school years, but then there are also moments where i'd put my phone somewhere and forget where i put it shortly after, so....

I tend to forget big, important things like birthdays and holidays in favor of being able to recall the lyrics from any mid 70s to late 90s song written about the ocean. ;/

My long term memory has always been really good, although these days not nearly as much for some reason. My short term memory is worse, not to the point I'm extremely forgetful but it's relatively easy for something to slip my mind if my focus is elsewhere.

Pretty strong, but not perfect. For example, in conversation I might not remember exactly word for word what was said the other day, but I'll have a vague memory.
