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]

Two observations from the way you respond:

1. You may well have far superior memory and observation skills than most people, which would explain why you remember and they don't.

2. Your tone is very off-putting. Perhaps people are picking up on a certain vibe you give off (the "I know I'm smarter than all of you" vibe) and it's not helping create connections.

Sometimes people with high IQs don't have the best social skills. It's hard navigating a world where everyone seems slower than you. My daughter struggles with this. She's highly intelligent and hyper functional. My parenting work has centered on developing her patience and kindness.[/quote]
