Apparently this needs to be said so
Forgetting things is morally neutral! Memory issues are morally neutral!
You're not a bad person if you...
- forget things quickly
- forget people
- can't remember entire stages of your life
- can't remember important things
- can remember some things very well and forget other things all the time
- can't remember things (or anything!) about your interests
- forget to eat, sleep, go to the bathroom, etc
- forget to reply to texts
- remember things and immediately forget them again
- can't remember birthdays, events, etc
- frequently answer 'I forgot' to questions
- can't retain new information
- forget things you used to know
- only remember things when it's too late
- have vague, distorted and/or unreliable memories
- depend on others to know how an event you were in played out
- have other symptoms that are worsened by memory issues and vice versa
... and anything else I might have missed!
