    Episodic memory 2/10 : I keep forgetting things that happen to me ; I barely remember anything further than 5 years ago.

    Semantic memory 10/10 : if I ever heard a factoid about screwheads in my teens, I still remember it verbatim 😂

      Yeah this it.

      I don’t remember events unless they are emotionally charged. My wife hates that I forget the things she tells me.

      I don’t really even remember TV shows or movies for very long. I don’t mind that because I can rewatch my favourites and re-enjoy them.

      I used to be able to remember hundreds of unique complex passwords for my different accounts, I remember facts, figures and technical details easily and permanently.
