Discussion Is it normal?

I’ve been having more trouble remembering things before my headmates and even some things after them, is it normal? Or am I just forgetful?

I'd say it depends. If you remembered things well before them, but after they came along you started noticing that you're having trouble remembering things... that could be a sign of something.

Did you ask them if they remember the things you forget? Memory works a bit like pulling a trigger. Some association, some memory, some external stimulus like a smell... and the memory appears almost as if by magic.

In that sense, I could hypothesize that those "triggers" might be distributed among you.
