Why do humans forget important things, but maintain embarrassing things like when we called our teacher mom?
In: Biology
It’s been proven that traumatic events effect children’s memories more than adults. Calling your teacher mom must’ve been traumatic thus “deleting” another “happy” memory.
It’s also the way your brain is wired, if you’re a pesimist you’re more likey to remember the unhappy memory than the happy one.
