How are you so sure other people are so good at remembering things without notes? ;)

Maybe other people are more open to bullshitting, working with incomplete information.

We sound like we have similar “instantaneous” approaches to life (though mine does not sound nearly as intense). Some of the other commenters have said interesting things that could be helpful.

My point here is only that some part of the magnitude of your symptoms could be accounted for by differences other than deficiencies in your cognitive ability. Like one way this would be easy to do would be to have an inflated sense of other people’s capabilities. Interesting post, I appreciate you sharing this and I wish you all the best.

E.g. I don’t expect you to remember a word of this comment, nor would I expect that of anybody. By tomorrow, my best hope is that your reading it the day prior has integrated itself in some tiny way into your understanding of yourself. You won’t remember me. Cheers
