    I’m similar to you. I have the memory of a gnat. It might be related to many years of undiagnosed sleep apnea. Or maybe it’s a side effect of a handful of experiences with general anesthesia.

    My mom is similar, though, so I suspect it’s just inherited. Like you, it doesn’t bother me.

    Everyone's memory of events is really bad. Eye witnesses are useless.

      I don't know. I'm like op and feel like getting worse. My wife otherwise will remember minor stuff like when my son last went to the doctor "oh yeah that was june 5th, because two days before dad was visiting..." and I'll be like "your family visited this year?" then she'll give more information say "we even went to the new Hard Rock with them" and I'll concede: "you're right, I have a faint still image of us sitting in that balcony table there". I would kill for having that. She never heard of PKM or Obsidian, and sucks at basic tasks like charging her phone and remembering the weekly appointments, but for that kind of stuff... its ridiculous.
