is randomly remembering shit you said to people decades ago smth that neurotypicals do too?
idk I see that gettn thrown around as "relatable content" sometimes but I usually feel made to feel weird when I do it or bring it up, idk
@the_moth_reborn I definitely have a disturbingly long memory for random trivia about people - even acquaintances - that I tend to keep under wraps because I worry people will think it's creepy that I remember that many details about them. But, I mean, maybe everyone else also does that and hides it for the same reason...
@cmdrspacebabe tbh I mainly wonder if its a hyperempathy thing
@the_moth_reborn def possible? I wouldn't call myself hyperempathic but I do have a really heavy social filter that I think causes me to pay more attention to detail/nuance than most people - probably learned behaviour from years of being That Weird Kid, I guess. And my long-term memory is really strong (even though it takes me 3 tries before I remember someone's name/face), so once the info is in there it usually sticks.
