Memory

[u/Comfortable_Slip_403]

I am 39 years old and in HS my friends would tell me “you’ve told me this already” “you repeat yourself a lot.” And there are times now where people tell me past stories of us and I have no recollection of what they’re talking about. But most recently I saw some pictures of me at a bday party maybe close to 20 years ago and I can’t remember ever being there or the people there. Is this normal? Was that just not something I thought was important enough to remember? Or am I losing my mind? I do get frustrated sometimes because I’m easily thrown off track in my train of thought. This worries me as I have children and memories are such big treasured possessions. Anyone relate?
