ruggy Posted June 15, 2009 Posted June 15, 2009 I think my biggest problem is my memory. Since I have a "photographic memory" My mind keeps on replaying every date from date # 1 Dec. 8 to the final date Feb. 10 in my mind minute by minute to see where I f*cked up. I could be thinking or doing something else, but it pops right in and goes through everything like a reel. Its driving me crazy. As most know, its really too late to do anything now. Its been like 4 months. Prob. if I called and we met back in Feb., I could had done something to repair her thoughts on me. Maybe I rushed to fast. She is definitely a serial dater. She's has a date every week with someone else. She's pretty prude/conservative, so I doubt there was any sex involved. Anyways, after the break, I tried to ignore it move on, but with cold turkey nothing really happened. No luck in finding a replacement either. Mostly, it seems, I am not attracted to them. Or, the ones who contact me, I get about 3 - 5 a week, I am not attracted to them. So, no matter what, I am at a loss either way. The funny thing is, at first, I did not even find her attractive. I was actually not going to contact her back in December. Man, I WISH I had a time machine....
Thomas X Forever Posted June 15, 2009 Posted June 15, 2009 Secret bragging topic about this "photographic memory"? I think you misinterpret what a photographic memory is. Running through a timeline in your head is very much so common. Near everyone does it. A photographic memory would be being able to memorize a sequence of hundreds of digits and repeat them near (if not perfectly) flawlessly.
Author ruggy Posted June 15, 2009 Author Posted June 15, 2009 Can do that too. Recite word for word books I've read and shows and movies. I can write a pin-point play by play of my whole life, day by day. Minute by minute. The good, bad and everything else... Its just how it is.

Minute by minute. The good, bad and everything else... Its just how it is. Yes, the gift and the curse. We all feel envious of those with photographic memories or just exceptional memories,period. But those of us with exceptional memories realize that it is a gift and a curse. We tend to play back things in our minds with disturbing and relentless accuracy and it is hard to get rid of it. This is nice when you need to study for that big exam but it sucks when we experience something painful in our lives and it is resurfaces constantly no matter how hard we try to get rid of it. The curse part of a great memory has to be worked at especially hard. You have to occupy your mind with something else. Not simply with bike riding and going to the movies. You have to occupy your mind with another passion. If you are in school, throw yourself into your school work and shoot to excel in it. If you are in a career, become the best in your field through much study and grinding. This is what many with your ability must do to fight the downside of that particular attribute, otherwise, it feels like your mind will break down and explode at times.
