And what causes it? I never remember being young and having the issues but boy do I get em a lot now.
I’ll forget on the way, and pray I remember when I get there.

The Doorway Effect
Imagine you’re playing with your toys in one room, and you really want to get your favorite teddy bear from another room. You know what you’re doing, but as soon as you walk through the door, sometimes you forget what you were thinking about!
This happens because your brain gets a little mixed up when you cross from one room to another. It’s like your brain is saying, “Hey, I’m in a new place now, so let’s think about new things!” So, you might forget about your teddy bear for a moment.
Scientists say this is because our memories are like stories that are connected to where we are. When we go to a new place, it’s like starting a new story, and sometimes we lose track of the last one we were just in. That’s why after going through a door, you might need to think a bit before you remember what you wanted to do!
I believe this is also the reason why some a-holes stop walking right outside of an exit to look for their car or at their phone for what to do next.

dude it’s like your brain gets too full or something like you’re downloading too many apps at once. but hey it’s just age showing you got experiences to carry. so just laugh it off when you totally forget

Maybe its because we get so used to some of the routines of life and living that we basically go on autopilot for much of the time, maybe to conserve the energy that our brain needs.
yo that’s called age doing its thing I guess like your brain’s trying to keep up but the connection ain’t so strong anymore it’s funny but also kinda sad
It’s called an “Event Boundary” partially compartmented memories in the brain and partly looking for danger in new surroundings.
dude its like the brain gets too filled with stuff over time i guess kinda like a messy room harder to find what you need but at least you are still trying to remember
