I have a really, really horrible memory. I forget conversations moments after they're done, and I can't remember things unless they're repeated to me countless times. I've forgotten everything I've learned in school, and I can hardly remember my childhood. It's become to the point where I gave up learning new things because I'm just going to forget it anyways. What's wrong with me? Am I just retarded?

If you don't practice a skill, you're gonna lose it. If you don't constantly remind yourself of some information, you're gonna forget it.I get that this realization is demotivating at first. But the good news is that you can work at it. You just have to decide how you want to live. How much work you want to put into it.You know what organized people do? They write things down in their calendar. Or they keep a diary. Or they write down every thought they get.Or they read a book like pic related that teaches you how to remember the birthdays of your closest friends. It's a century-old beststeller for a reason.All of this to say that… you're not retarded. You're probably just young, in which case I would say, don't be too hard on yourself. But take on a mindset of curiosity, interest in other people, and responsibility for how you choose to live your life.
