I just remember that I write with my right hand and over time your brain just 'memorizes' it.
Yes, I feel very much like you, instead of memories, I remember. I also don't plan ahead and live in the now. Am just afraid of how different I am to everyone around me who has memories that work almost as if it's magic. I wish I had even somewhat of the ability to view the past (with images), but I guess this is how our brain functions. Thank you for your input, much appreciated.
Yes, this has helped a lot. Am glad that I am not alone feeling like this. I have been feeling depressed but for seemingly no reason, so maybe it is connected, am not sure. When something grand happens or when I want to remember it in my future, I will definitely journal it so I don't forget how I was feeling. Thank you so much for your input :), I was worried no one would respond!
I am curious as well if I have a memory deficit in combination with aphantasia.
