Have you ever wished you were a genius with a photographic memory? What would you memorize, or what would you do with it?

What would you memorize, or what would you do with it?no coz iv seen some shit and i would not wanna have photo memory for that reason alone
>>34356214i had that but then i smoked weed and it kind of went away. it wasn't greatthe main thing about interacting with other people, is they expect you to not remember, to constantly forget about them in any way they're not reminding you, etc. when you talk to a pretty girl and she tells you about scuba diving or whatever in March and you don't really talk that much but you bring it up again when you talk in September she gets extremely uncomfortable like you're obsessed with her. that's what life is like with good memory, you remember things people agreed to that they only said figuring you'd forget and not ask 3 weeks later, you remember personal details, people think you're being a pedant or a weirdo putting all this effort in even though deep recall just comes naturally
>>34359917thats not true, there are people who are really touched when you remember random details, it all hinges on if they like you or not
>>34359917This is true. Although to cope you can just stop bringing up stuff that people did before.
>>34359925Sure. The issue is that from the outside, those situations aren’t always distinguishable, and it's not totally separate. People who were predisposed to like you end up getting you because of how you are. People will share little personal details in group settings, make casual comments, or even say things they don’t fully mean just to keep conversation flowing or maintain social cohesion. In the moment, it can look the same as genuine interest or trust. But later, if you bring it back up, you find out it wasn’t actually “stored” on their end with the same weight, because it was a throwaway white lie they never told again. So if you have strong recall, you end up treating everything as signal because to you it is while for them a lot of it was just noise. That mismatch is where the discomfort comes from. It’s not that remembering is inherently good or bad, it’s that other people implicitly expect a certain level of forgetting and cover for their small lies, so when you remember perfectly, they deny it and everyone else in the group, who did forget it, thinks you're being weird and fixated. You basically have to learn to filter your own memory, and constantly update which lies you're supposed to repeat, not because it’s inaccurate, but because social norms assume selective amnesia. It's like a bleach blonde saying she has that natural hair color, but instead of that being a simple little rule that's easily memorable like "women get to pretend their hair is whatever color" you have to keep track of which lies apply to anyone around you at any moment.
>>34359954dude you are way too autistic no offense, thats not going to decide everything they like about you, eventually they'll find out about your memory, if there is enough compatibility, big nothing burger, im guessing you have difficulties emoting properly, lot of autists struggle with expression, social fluidity
>>34356214there are memories i wish i could erase
>>34356214I'm already too smart for my own good.
