Forgetting What You Just Did

Should I just move on and forget about her?

I went to pick up my girlfriend for our date. She was not ready so I talked to her mom Ann for a while. Ann told me her computer had a problem and she could not get her email and ask me if I know anything about computers as she was desperate to get her emails. I inspected her computer and it had a virus. I went to my car and got my laptop computer and copied an anti virus program to Ann’s computer and it removed the virus. To say ANN was happy she could now get her email is an understatement. She was overjoyed. She said let me give you a hug to show you how much I appreciate you fixing my computer. She gave me a hug and much to my surprise she also gave me a kiss. WOW. That is a great way to say thank you.

Then the totally unexpected happened. My girlfriend watched her mother kiss me and said “Our date is off. I will never kiss someone my mother has kissed”.

Should I just move on and not try to explain this problem was not my fault.

Please give me some advice on what I should do.

THANKS

I am only 19. Why do I keep forgetting things?

Hard to answer without more information, but there are at least 3 reasons that could be behind it.Distraction - not being engaged with what’s going on around you. I know someone who is a great student, intelligent, creative…and forgetful. It all stems from being engaged in his own head, thinking about things all the time and having trouble switching to listening mode. So he’ll, say, be playing a video game…you say his name…he looks at you…you say, “take out the trash”…he says “ok”…and doesn’t do it because he “forgot”. What happened was was still thinking about the game and did not really engage with the request.Stress: One of the many reactions that hit people who are going through stress is forgetting. No organic cause, just completely forgetting things - that can be as worrisome as asking someone a question you already asked them, but have no memory of doing. Weird and scary when you are experiencing, but it clears up as the stress goes away or better methods of coping with it are learned.Organic problems. There are medical conditions and reaction to some medications that can mess with memory, but as a 15 year old those probably don’t apply to you. Talk to your parents about the first two. If none of the above applies to you, you can certainly ease your mind by exploring other possibilities with your family doctor…but I highly doubt that will be needed.

I usually forget what I just did?

I forget the maths problems I did just 5 mins before , the same happens in exam I forget most of the ques. The has been previously done by me .Not only this , I forget what I have to do . I will go upstairs for something and then have to spend a hard time thinking for what I came upstairs .Another incident , there was a art (small model of gun 4cms ) and a key for my vehicle I had to take out both and keep the art back and use key to start my vehicle ….what I did ….took out both kept the key back in bag and tried to start my vehivle with art .If someone is saying something …my mind won't hear that ..it is in something else ….I don't know.My major problem is I forgot things not maths but all ….physics chemistry etc …..I am not able to learn chemistry chemical reactions etc.I forget directions to a place I have already went to .I give my notebook to my friend and then I will forget and when I try to remember my mind will conclude all other people except the one whom I have given my notebook …totally blank I cannot remember whom I have given too .All these things happen to me most often .

I "forget" things I just did?

Sometimes I will do something like scratch my arm and then I will instantly forget that I did it. But it's not like it is completely gone from my mind, it's like I scratch my arm, and then I will have the feeling on my arm like I just scratched it (like someone would usually get) but it would feel weird because I forgot that I scratched my arm, but at the same time I will know that I did it because I feel it on my skin! It is so hard to explain! But I will then think to myself "I can't believe I just scratched my arm! It seems impossible!" it is such a weird feeling! What's wrong with me? I used to get it a lot more often when I was under a lot of stress and losing a lot of sleep, but it has been getting better now as I have gotten more sleep. I also have an iron deficiency if that makes any difference.

Do you forget stuff u did while your high?

nope smoked a bong for years, i think i did, pretty sure, well maybe, what was the question

Can smoking to much weed or kush make you forget what you did?

I never really had to do anything important when I was baked, it was the weekend and I was chilling with my friends in a basement. At the time, everything to me was more magnified, chips tasted good, I could feel my body, and the simpsons were very hilarious- up till 2000. To answer your question, I never really felt that my memory was effected when I was baked, it just put me into a different perspective of thinking.

What did he mean when he said "let's just forget we ever met"?

There's this guy who has liked me since I met him. He really loved me. I could tell he did, but I didn't really like him, though. I was neutral about him. He liked me enough that he stood up for me. This "thing" named TJ was constantly telling everyone that I was a whore. Austin went and told her that she needed to leave me alone, and she kicked him in his balls. He said the pain didn't matter to him. I thought it was a nice thing for him to do, but I never really thought that much about him.

When I broke up with my cheating boyfriend he told me that he loved me, and I thought that he was kind of sweet, so I gave him my number. We were texting, and every once in a while he would remind me how much he loved me, and he said that he would be fine with me not dating him because he wanted me to be happy. So, I started dating (the greatest boyfriend I've ever had) Kyle and I started ignoring Austin. I stopped talking to him, and I didn't respond to his text messages. I thought he would get the hint that I didn't like him.

Today he texted me saying, "Why didn't you just tell me you didn't like me? I would've been able to get on with my life a lot sooner." I told him that me dating Kyle was me telling him that I didn't like him. He said "You know me. I'm an idiot. I don't pick up on these things." I said I was sorry he didn't get the memo. He responded a little later "It's cool. I'm a happier idiot knowing I can finally get on with my life. Let's just forget we ever met."

Does he not love me anymore? Why would he say "let's just forget we ever met"? He isn't a bad guy, but I don't understand why he would say that. I liked knowing that he loved me. I'm not sure if he does anymore, and for some reason I feel kind of sad.

I really want an honest answer. Please?

Why do I forget to do a task just minutes after I thought of doing it?

I can only speculate to the reason why, but I hope it will be a good one…The effect you mention happens quite often in everyday life. e.g. You think to yourself, I mustn’t forget where I put these car keys. You walk out of the room for a second, and you return and you have no clue where you put them.This type of effect is sometimes used in magic, mentalism, and hypnosis demonstrations in different forms.I can think of two reasons why it works as it does.The first is a form of cognitive blindness. At some degree you have already ruled out where something can’t be, so you don’t look there — but you do look all around there, which makes you think you may have the initial spot covered.The other is more about how the mind operates when it does tasks.There was a study where folks were asked to answer some questions about English grammar, afterward they were asked to assess how well they did on the test. Turns out, that second part was the real test in the experiment.What they discovered was that people who didn’t have a skill were also poor judges of how well they did, while people who did have a skill were pretty good at predicting how well they did (often critically so, because they also knew what they might have missed).The big take-away is that the part of the brain that does a task is also responsible for assessing the task.And that leads to the speculation between doing and imagination: it’s likely that when you think of a task (or doing it) in your mind, you’re mind doesn’t really file a distinction between thinking about doing it and actually doing it; it just knows “it was done” — and lops it out of short term memory priority-wise.Thus, if you think about doing a task, distract yourself somehow, then it’s likely you won’t return to do the task [at first] because you’re already sitting on comfy neural chemicals that it’s been attended to.Just a speculation.

How did you forget your first big love?

You don't forget, you just move on. After 17 years of marriage and 4 children I still think about by first love, then I think about all I would have missed had we not called it off. Remember as you go through life there are many stepping stones to take you to your destination. Just keep stepping, and let life be a learning experience.
