I find names to be amongst the hardest things to remember. Especially when meeting a bunch of new people at the same time, all the names can be overwhelming . I remember peoples faces, and where I've seen them before, and sometimes even conversations I have had with that person and still their name can escape me.
I also do not remember things that I subconsciously or consciously deem unimportant, usually facts relating to schoolwork. We learn many things that we will not use. So if a lesson bores me I usually don't remember the subject matter that was covered.
If I have to go shopping to specific things I have to write a grocery list and just like Santa I have to check it twice, sometimes I forget to write things on the list. There have been many times that I get to the store and realize I've forgotten my list. I do the best I can, but usually end up forgetting something. This could have to do with the fact that I hate the ShopRite in my town so I am always rushing to get out of there.
What are some things that you have difficulty remembering and why do you think that is so?
Well, I'm the same way, except for the fact that I can remember names, but not faces. I literally said hi to my friend today and forgot how I knew her; saw her later in chem and forgot she was the girl I said hi to, go figure! -__-
ReplyDeleteBut, remembering things that are important to me seems to come easily, but things that don't seem to have a heavy weight are forgotten easily!
Sam, this post was really cute! I loved reading it! :)
I have trouble remembering the dreams I just had, I usally have to write them down oncwe I wake up. So now I am trying to remember them more clearly. I can usually remember school facts well, I put it in like a story in my head. But names, I seem to always remember faces, and only half as well remember names. I think its because when we first meet someone, we try to make a good inpression that we don't concentrate on them. Reminds me of Benjamin Bucket, the people who make the greatest impact on us, we remember the least.
