I have a photographic memory, but only for times in the past when I acted autistic.

I once took a speed reading course.
Learned to read straight down the middle of the page. I was able to go through ‘War and Peace’ in 20 minutes.
It’s about Russia.

Im starting to get fuzzy on books ive read a decade ago. sucks having to reread everything twice or three times

I wish I was a faster reader, and a more comprehending reader, but I still enjoy going through a work at a rather slow, informing and immersive pace.

>> No.22578996

>>22577738
Well yeah, a decade is pretty good memory if you consider merely fuzzy bad. You’re better off in that department that about 90% of the population. I’m “fuzzy” on books I’ve read last month

sounds like absolute hell. i have a moderately powerful recall & like these anons >>22577388 >>22577299 i'm regularly tortured by my brain with memories of every time over most of my life that i acted like an autistic retard or made people angry at me or stupidly disrupted the flow of socialization surrounding me, i'd probably kill myself if i had perfect photographic recall & could remember literally every such instance with perfect flawless clarity

Emotionally charged memories might seem clearer than others, but they are actually less reliable.
