are you good at memorizing things? how's your overall memory (long term + short term)?

I’m.. fairly okay at memorizing things depending on how important it is.

My memory in general hasn’t been the best and I want to say it’s mostly due to depression? But I’m not 100% sure. I’ve been having a lot of difficult remembering what went on the last few days and stuff. I dunno.

IF I can get something to long-term memory, then it has a good chance of staying there for a while...maybe. I have noticed in recent years that I've had some memories that have faded, not entirely sure why. I've had more than a few "I don't remember this at all" encounters.

But it definitely has to get there first. I'm so easily distracted at times that I can try to remember something, and then realize later that oops - I forgot it. Again. So frustrating. And if I write it down for use when I go out somewhere? Oh look, forgot the paper ...

Selective. For some reason I have this supernatural power to remember lyrics from songs upon the first listen.

When it comes to normal things though, I'd say my memory is pretty average? I guess?

Absolutely terrible. I constantly have to catch myself going out of my room to get something, only to forget what I wanted. I'm terrible with names, as well...I could go on all day, really. It's that bad.

My memory used to be just plain good but over the last few years I've not been using my brain as much so it's gotten worse. These days my long term memory is still pretty good but my short term is average at best.

I can remember key points of my life good or bad.
But random non-eventful days, which may have been huge for others, are lost to me.

Like, I don't remember my prom night, because i didn't really do much or socialise much during it.
But, everyone in my academic year remember it fondly.

really embarrassing moments in my life i will always carry around with me as if they happened the other day. my mind will never let those go even if i wanted to forget them, so...

on the other hand, i always forget where i put my phone so make of that what you will

interestingly, while i can remember certain points in my life, i honestly cant tell you what year they took place in. what happened in 2013? what about 2014? i dunno -- probably nothing too eventful.

It's anyone's guess as to how well I'll remember stuff. XD

Short term I'm usually okay but long term is very iffy.

Mixed, I suppose. For some things it can be quite good, but I do forget things every now and again. I'd say my short term memory is lacking more than long term.

My memory teters on being great and being horrible. There seems to be zero middleground. I can remember my way out of a warzone if my brain detects it as an immediate emergency. If it's something that can be put off for later, absolutely not. I guess that is the side effect of being a victim of depression, but that muk hurted.

Of course, if it's an embarassing situation, I will stick with that for the rest of my life.

I have an ability to forget things I'm supposed to remember and to memorize trivial and useless stuff, which is annoying.
