I've had that happen. It's due to the following reasons:

1. I have less going on in my life than many people. So I have more bandwidth to notice and memorize things about situations I care about.

2. I'm an introvert with a soft voice. It's an effort to introduce myself, talk about me and my kids, etc. I'm a great listener, however!

Those two traits combined explains why I sometimes remember other people's situations better than they remember my own. It's not anyone's fault. It's just how it is.

Hmm doubt this is true. I'm a working mom of 4 who has lived in multiple states and am an extrovert, I work in PR. It's part of my job to remember people, and it's one of the reasons I ended up in PR, because it came naturally.[/quote]

Sorry, not all of us can be as perfect as you.  No, I'm not going to remember much from someone I see 1-2 times a year for a few hours and honestly, nor do I care.  I'm just struggling to survive my own life.  We aren't friends.  We aren't acquaintances.  We are strangers attending a conference (which honestly I wouldn't do as I physically couldn't).[/quote]

I didn't say I was perfect. I was agreeing that some people have better biographical memory. The PP said it was because she was an introvert with a quiet life. I said actually there are some people just born with this trait, I've read Bill Clinton never forgot a name/face/details and he obviously was a busy extrovert. Maybe you are insecure to get that from that post, or have poor reading comprehension.[/quote]
