Why Your Childhood Memories Are "Fake" (And That’s Okay)

Описание: Have you ever looked back at a vivid childhood memory—like the specific shade of a kite or the taste of a cold drink—and realized you are seeing the scene from outside your own body, watching yourself as if you were a character in a movie?

In this video, we explore the psychology behind why your Childhood Memories might not be as accurate as you think. We discuss why memory is not a digital recording stored on a hard drive, but a creative storyteller that constantly edits, repaints, and updates our past to fit who we are today.

We dive into:

The Perspective Shift: Why seeing yourself in the third person proves your mind is filling in the gaps.

The "Photograph Anchor": How we often remember the family photo on the mantelpiece rather than the actual event.

Repetition vs. Reality: Why every time you tell a story, you are actually remembering the last time you told it, like a game of telephone with yourself.

Emotional Truth: Why two siblings can remember the exact same day in completely different ways.

The Gift of Forgetting: Why fading details is actually a kindness that prevents us from being overwhelmed.

Your memories aren't lies; they are the "hand-crafted" stories of your life.
