Is this a mental illness or just weird?!


Question: Is this a mental illness or just weird!?
My friends have been making fun of how I remember random dates and what I did on that day!? I only remember dates where my friends come over, if I go to a sporting or other type of event!? I know about 10 days in the past 5 year where I can name everything I did!? Is this something I shoulg get checked out or is it something that is normal for some people!?Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
not really, you just have a strong memory :)Www@Answer-Health@Com

If you are being made fun of for it!. Try not making a point of doing it in front of your friends!. It is social learning, not mental illness!.

because you have a mind for dates and events is not a bad thing, it's kind of like trivial pursuit!. I am student of history and often can provide trivial pieces of meaningless knowledge!. it is annoying to some people when you do it too often!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

it isn't a problem, you have a selective memory - certain memories are stronger than others

I have similar issue, when a song comes on the radio, i can tell you where i was, what I was doing, what i was WEARING when i first heard it! lol

we're special!! hahahaWww@Answer-Health@Com

it is compleatly normal
you have a great memory!.!.!.that is good

if it was a mental disorder, you would be FORCING yourself to remember that stuff and getting worked up about it if u didnt!.

hope that helped =]Www@Answer-Health@Com

a good memory is a blessing, not a mental illness!.

if you're super worried, tell your dr all your symptoms, but I seriously doubt that its a mental illness!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

It just seems like you have a really good memory!. I can be like that as well!. I will remember the most random details!. I don't think there is anything wrong with that or weird!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Nothing to be worried about!. You might just have a really good memory for things you find significant!. Don't worry about it!. It isn't anything weird!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

You have an excellent memory!! Something to be proud of, not ashamed or concerned about!. :)Www@Answer-Health@Com
