Would it be a gift or a curse for you?

I deal with something like that as a part of one of the types of Synesthesia I have and it has dulled some now due to the medications I've had to take over the years and other factors.

I found it very frustrating to remember what someone said, how they said it, how they were standing, how the sun was shining, what they were wearing and the time of day plus so many other things and recalling them back to them and they'd still insist they "Don't recall" or they'd lie when I KNEW I was not wrong. I had no choice to remember everything that way.

Even when I tell a story I have to tell it in long form, exactly as it happened like a movie because that's how I see it in my head and am extremely verbose because of it. I thought having it dulled would bring me such relief, but honestly I find it anxiety inducing.

I remember all of my dreams too. Even the ones from decades ago and they often pick up where they left off years later.

Marilu Henner from "Taxi" has this condition. Amazing, truly. And she always seems to be smiling... hmmm 🤔

I think I’d have to pass on that.

I think I'd be insecure if I lived with that condition, wouldn't you second guess everything you did so you wouldn't mess up and have bad memories?

Im not as bad as that but can remember as far back being in a crib and can remember things I wish Id forget.

That would be very very bad.

I do already. Even more so when I’m dreaming. Sometimes it’s really nice, other times it’s truly awful.

I think it would make me intolerable to others.. And its not like I dont get that enough now..😷

I can holde a grudge way longer than I wish to, so for me it would be a curse.

There’s truth in the saying
Ignorance is Bliss
If you had this condition does it mean you also remember and feel every single emotion you had when these things happened to you or do your feelings about them they fade with time?

There are some things I'd rather forget.

It would be alright if it was just factual memories, but too overwhelming if it came with all the emotions attached.
