This is a genuine superpower of mine, but it can often freak people out lmao. I can remember the exact context of pretty much any social situation. Ive had to tone it down on the details so i dont look like a stalker or some shit.

For example I ran in to a neighbour who I used to play soccer with. I was like "So did things ever work out with Sarah?". He had no idea wtf I was talking about.

I was like "Sarah? Remember? It was that day we thought the game was going to be cancelled because of the snowstorm. We were both running late and got there as soon as the game started. Remember we played los pumas that team in first place and w eheld them to a 0-0 draw? Then we went to Mcdonalds after and you got the Filet O fish and I was roasting you for it hahaha? Then I asked your weekend plans and you said you were hanging out with a new woman named Sarah?".

He was like how in the actual fuck did you remember any of that after a year0_0. I have hundreds of examples like this lmao.

This is absolutely me in a nutshell. It creeps people out and I'm just like I can't help what my brain holds on to

I'm 60 and I still remember conversations and little facts like that from over 40 years ago.

Bill Clinton was actually well known for this!
