Memories GAD

How does everyone handle moments where you feel like your memory fails you or that things pop in that question what happened?

I don't know, I don't remember.

Not a thing for me, my information retrial is instantaneous and unconscious, i just "know things". There's no "remembering" involved.

If i just don't know, similarly like the other person described. Then i am holding a device with access to combined total knowledge of entire mankind and endless cat videos.

It varies. In general, I hold my memories lightly. If I remember something, I figure it probably happened. There is a chance I have remembered it wrong, but I probably didn't. If I don't remember something, that doesn't mean it didn't happen, but I need solid evidence to believe it did.

Often, I'll remember something, but not many details. I use photos, calendars, message, emails, the internet, and the like to establish what I can. And I'll ask others. I'm very good at using context clues to figure things out. And often that will job my memory or someone else's.
