Why is human memory so unreliable?

Inspired by [this](https://www.reddit.com/r/AskReddit/comments/g2csg5/what_fact_is_ignored_generously/fnlesbi?utm_medium=android_app&utm_source=share) comment by u/squigs, I came here to ask you: Why we can’t remember details of things and, in most of the times, we make up things to fill the gaps on our memory.

Why does our brain do this?

Because we can’t possibly process everything so we have learned to filter out unnecessary information and fill that spot with what makes sense or is common.
