Forgetting is Healthy
Did you ever experience the ability to forget? I mean... You remembered it a while ago, but after a few minutes, you forgot it already. 😅 I'm sure all of us experienced that. And it's not based on how old we are now, but that's what the human brain is. For example, imagine that you can remember everything, from the small details to the big one... Your brain can be so crowded that it will store lots of stuff even the unimportant things. Are you familiar with the ***"Hyperthymesia"***... *It is a condition in which a person can abnormally remember a large number of his life experiences in vivid details*. And it is known as a **dangerous one**, not physically but mentally. Why? Remembering everything that happens in your life can lead to anxiety, difficulty, and tension. So, **be thankful that you can forget**. Based on research, our brain has the ability to remove the unimportant and old information. So, if ever you bypass some... Your brain is healthy. It is functioning well, and it only shows that we have stored lots of stuff in our brains. Thanks for reading. 😊 Feel free to like, subscribe, and comment. ✨

I dont know if I will be grateful because I forgot tgings easily hahaha. After I gave birth to my son via CS I forgot a lot of things and they said its a side effect of the anesthesia. So now, every time I have a things to do or a things that I kept I will write it so that when I forgot it I can easily find it haha
Yes. I think it's one of the side effects. My mother got CS too after giving birth to my siblings, and she mentioned that side effect. Good to know you can manage now. 😊
Yeah. Sometimes I also forgot to write down hahaha
😅 Toinks hahaha
Nice article with a beautiful presentation 🙂 I don't know whether it's grateful to forget things but I can't forget anything
Thank you @Cutie_Angel_Mukta. But really? You can't forget anything? Wow. Your brain is different. 😅
I can remember everything except my study
Lol. The study is the most important thing to remember. 🤦♀️
You know how forgetful I am. Have I ever told you the story about how I have to search the whole house just because I forgot where I put the kettle's cover? haha that was indeed hilarious. And I always forgets where I put my phone that I'm going crazy looking for it (especially now 😂) One time I even forgot my phone and left it at your house 😅
Lol. Yeah. I can remember that scene. 😂 It just means your brain is healthy. I hope you forget him too. 😂✌
I already forgot about them 😂 But the lessons learned are still remembered 😆
and then there's Alzheimer
😅 Alzheimer's is an unhealthy way of forgetting things. It's a disease.
Should I be thankful then?😂 I'm a bit forgetful you know. I thought this is alarming and that I want to visit a doctor sometime.
Maybe your brain is just removing the unimportant things and the old one. 😅 But... If it's alarming to you, then... Feel free to visit the doctor then. 😊
Wow nice info I always forget little thing .They say I'm already old now I know I have a normal brain thanks to you
😅 Maybe it's true... Getting old means being matured and stocking a lot of stuff in our brain. If you're not that old, it just means that you're good at studying. 😊
Yeah, I experience that too so often, so we don't have to worry about it, you're not alone😁.
Yeah. 😅 Others view it as a bad thing, but that how our brain works. 😊
Ahhh! So it's dangerous to store much information in the brain
It's not dangerous. Unless you have the Hyperthymesia. Storing information in our brain is normal, and it's up to the brain what stuffs to delete after. 😅
In that case. I can say yes. But not in all cases forgetting is healthy.
You have a point. In what circumstance can you say that forgetting is unhealthy?
In an scholarly or academic world.
Do you mean when you have a quiz or examination?
No, I mean, in terms of knowledge, technical terms (such that) that is needed in your work and in academic. Forgetting is become a big struggle sometimes.
That's why some people need a reminder or a person who will remind him every now and then. Thinking and managing a lot of stuff can lead to being forgetful.
Very good article! 😊
Thanks, @Marty27. ✨
Nice topic! I don't know that 🤔
I'm Argentinean and we have a writer called Jorge Luis Borges. He wrote a tale about this!, this story is called "Funes el memorioso", in wich its protagonist suffers Hyperthymesia. Perhaps some day you can read it. Kisses!
Thanks for sharing. I'd love to. But what language was it?
Is Spanish, "Funes el memorioso" is "Funes" (a Spanish second name) and "el memorioso" someone with a extraordinary memory, ;). Kisses!
Oooh... I see. I learned today. Thanks to you. ❤
I never knew it was good to forget things
Just like our laptops and mobile phones, deleting some unused or large files can lead to a proper function. 😉
do you wonder why you can't remember all your childhood memories? perhaps it's the unimportant ones
Nice question... I think our brain as a child is not that matured to remember everything. I don't know. 😐
maybe..Ive come across 1 person who doesn't forget what he learned,I mean skills he's a fast learner but when it comes to his tools he would forget where he just laid it..
Ohh... So it means, he gains the ability to learn, yet lacks the ability to remember. 😅
parang ganun 😂😂,mkakalimutin e, d alam qng san san iniiwan ung mga kagamitan nya.
Ganyan din ako e, lalo sa cellphone. O kung kelangan ko yung isang bagay, saka nawawala hahaha
hanap ng hanap pro wlang mkita, d mtandaan qng san iniwan. taz pag d kailangan, anjan lng na😁..pro sa totoo lng pabata ng pabata ang mga makakAlimutin dahil khit aq..
Hahah... Oo nga. Ibig sabihin, kahit bata... Mas dumadami ang laman ng utak haha, o kaya... Mas walang kakayahan pagdating sa pag memorize hahaha
They say our brain is big it can store so many information as long the brain is alive. Like Einsteins he has a brilliant mind because his brain is abnormally big as what they say. So, why is it dangerous for a man to remember everything what happen in his life. I think it depends on each individual on how he deals his memory. If it is traumatic and dangerous event then he have to delete it in his memory to avoid tension and anxiety leading to depression.
Thanks for your comment. You can try to research about the hyperthymesia... To be aware of how dangerous it could be.
