why am I so stupid? - GoFuckYourself.com

IntenseCash · 06-09-2003, 04:54 PM

I have the biggest problem remembering names and remembering what I did last week.

No I dont do drugs never have, I hardly ever drink and I am 20.

The I struggled on tests in high school, sure the homework was easy, but when it comes to remembering things. Dont ask me!

I just started taking Ginkoba... hopefully in a few weeks I will see results. I have not been to the doctor in a while, I am wondering if I should be checked out for something.

Hmm... whats my name again?

XYCash · 06-09-2003, 04:58 PM

it's probably just too much shit on your mind. Stuff tends to leak out when I have a lot of pressing issues. You should try making notes to yourself. Get a calendar that you can stick up on the wall to remind you of things that need doing.

sounds like you need to get high

IntenseCash · 06-09-2003, 05:16 PM

Get High? hmm will that really help my memory?

Look like you need a deep gooch massage and tickling to ease your mind.

Theo · 06-09-2003, 07:10 PM

IntenseCash, i have the same problem and im afraid is getting worse

cash69 · 06-09-2003, 07:17 PM

FiReC · 06-09-2003, 08:10 PM

ginko is going to give you ADD

better get some adoral to counter the effects

chowda · 06-09-2003, 08:13 PM

i cant remember names for shit.. i remember faces alot better tho

HEARTBREAKER · 06-09-2003, 08:55 PM

well, i think you're not stupid. it's just that some people are blessed with a excellent memory and some are not and maybe you're one of them...

IntenseCash · 06-09-2003, 09:00 PM

awww this thread is so inspiring, I have read that people starting having better memory with ginko after 30 days of uninteruputed use.

If it really does cause ADD I will stop this shit right away i dont need that. I can remember things really well if I am able to put a picture to it. But if someone asks me something about a certain date and for me to remember it? god I better find me a camera to record everything I do.

Except sex

I always remember that

baddog · 06-10-2003, 01:06 AM

I can't remember what I was going to say

detoxed · 06-10-2003, 01:09 AM

You sometimes remind me of the fish Dory in Finding Nemo that forgets everything in less than a minute.

That doesn't mean something's wrong with you, you just learn differently and visual things have more of am impact on you. Usually visual people are more creative people.

Take a group of people, have them sit through a long detailed lecture, then have them sit through the same lecture given by a master storyteller who weaves the details into a grand history lesson where you're picturing what's going on in your mind... *most* people will remember the most details from the storyteller's lecture, like you. Things commit to memory easier if there are more cues to pin to them - visual (actually seen or imagined) cues, sound cues, smells, touch, sound.
That's why many people say that they remember things better if they write them down - it's because there are 3 cues doing on in doing so. Visually they *see* themselves writing the information, physically they *feel* the pen in their hand as they're writing it, and in their head they *hear* themselves speaking the words that they're writing.
Think of the cues as weights or anchors. The more weights you have, the better something is going to stick to the "floor" of your memory. Things with less weight tend to flutter off or get blown away by a sudden gust of information that comes in.

There's nothing wrong with you whatsover. You just need to develop new habits to deal with your own best particular style of learning. I honestly think writing things down will *really* help you. Keep a spiral notebook on your desk, each day write the day and date at the top of the page, and then keep notes on it as the day goes along. Draw bold lines under (or boxes around) really important information. You'd be amazed at not only how well this will help your memory, but also your business. Plus you'll find yourself remembering things better that you *didn't* write down, simply because you can attach them to another thought (a weight or anchor) - looking through your notes for the day you'll remember that right after writing something, you took a phone call with Joe Blow, etc.
When you meet someone (ie at a convention) and they hand you a business card, take a moment to write a note to yourself on the back of it. When someone tells you their name, REPEAT IT as you're shaking their hand and looking them in the face. "Hi Joe, nice to finally meet you!" (Visual cue - their face, physical/touch cue - their hand, sound cue - yourself repeating their name.)

Before you blow this off, think to yourself... how many times have you heard a certain song and suddenly you're transported back to when you were 17 and could remember everything going on at that moment as if it were happening right now?
Or someone walks by you with a certain perfume on and instantly you're reminded of your grandmother who wore that same perfume, the touch of her hand, her face clear and vivid in your mind?

Give memories more weight and they stick around forever.

Thank you Carrie. I am willing on trying a few of those pointers... I am just so damn stubborn about writing things down. I get frustrated with myself to not try things like that, that will help me. But I tell myself I should be smart and not have to do shit like that.

I know I am more of a visual person, I wish I was more creative though. I suppose I am looking for an easy fix, when there isent one.

Thanks though and I will copy and paste this into word... I can keep it as a reference later

You mean ambidextrous. I am right handed, and not I am not ambidextrous. I did break my right hand before and was forced to write left handed. It was legible, so I guess if I have to.

On-top · 06-10-2003, 05:06 PM

Hmm..right on. I was just wondering. Maybe you should just get high.

You ever think about learning to juggle? Haha..it would probably only take you a couple hours, but it does tie both sides of your body and brain together. You might be surprised by the results. Sounds kind of crazy, but a lot of beneficial things are...
