RULES
- Be respectful: no harassment, hate speech, bigotry, and/or trolling.
- Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible.
- Avoid controversial topics (e.g. politics or societal debates).
- Stay calm: Don’t post angry or to vent or complain. We are a place where everyone can forget about their everyday or not so everyday worries for a moment. Venting, complaining, or posting from a place of anger or resentment doesn't fit the atmosphere we try to foster at all. Feel free to post those on !goodoffmychest@lemmy.world
- Keep it clean and SFW
- No solicitation such as ads, promotional content, spam, surveys etc.

Bad. Someone has to remind me what happened yesterday or at an event and -boom- I get a recall permission notification that sends me a mind video of a snippet.
Otherwise, my brain is firmly fixated on the present and somehow naively excited about future plans.
I used to think that I cherry-picked the past, but no I just average and flatten it quicker than most.
Introspection is something I'm capable of, but it's mostly feelings based rather than event based because I can't recall examples of my behaviour very well, I just vibe it.
It hasn't affected me at school, my short term memory functions mostly okay, and I excel in getting things done, but it does bother me that my longterm recall is open only to strangers and not to myself.
