dont try to improve it (except through nootropics, but dont do dual n back and memory training, it just wastes time and effort, also memory is pretty much a fixed trait, very hard to increase, or only increases with a lot of effort)
my brain just erases a lot from my memory, this helps declutter my mind and reduces brainload etc etc
its like my memory is not the best but take this:
what are advantages of having a bad memory
Of course, these advantages don’t negate the downsides of poor memory, especially in professional or academic settings. But in the right context, forgetting can actually be a hidden superpower.

ChatGPT:
Having a bad memory might seem like a disadvantage at first, but it can actually come with some surprising advantages, depending on context. Here are a few:1. Easier to Let Go of Negative Experiences
- People with poor memory may forget past traumas, arguments, or failures more easily.
- This can lead to lower stress, anxiety, and fewer grudges, making it easier to move on and maintain relationships.
2. Enhanced Creativity
- Forgetting details can lead to more abstract or flexible thinking.
- This “blurred” memory allows your brain to make new, creative associations because it’s not confined to precise recollections.
3. Less Mental Clutter
- Not remembering everything can help keep your mind clearer.
- It reduces the mental load, which might allow you to focus better on the present or on what's most important.
4. Improved Adaptability
- People with less rigid memory can be more open to changing their views or updating their knowledge, since they aren’t anchored by fixed recollections.
5. Humility and Openness
- Forgetfulness can lead to greater reliance on others, encouraging teamwork and collaboration.
- It may also make a person more open to being corrected, which fosters learning and humility.
6. Better Conflict Resolution
- Forgetting exactly who said what in a conflict can reduce bitterness.
- This can make reconciliation easier and more natural over time.
7. Surprise and Enjoyment
- Forgetting details of books, movies, or jokes can make it fun to re-experience them as if they’re new.
Of course, these advantages don’t negate the downsides of poor memory, especially in professional or academic settings. But in the right context, forgetting can actually be a hidden superpower.
