I met someone with this, vaguely remembered her name from over meeting one time 7 years before; she said “that’s pretty good, we did speak...” and proceeded to recount exactly what happened including the date and time.

Having been in neuropsychology and having worked in a psychiatric facility I can assure you that story is utterly fanciful.
Well my father was a Chaplin at a State mental hospital all the time I was growing up. Maybe the schitzos were smarter back then.
I had an old mentor that would joke about his poor memory. “The good thing is, my wife is going to let me hide my own Easter eggs this year!”
I think he did it more so if he didn’t do something he had an excuse. But you could ask him about some geology project he worked on and it was total recall. A lot of geologists seem to have that - but he was unbelievable. “Yeah - that was in 1972. The granite was almost pure white - only 1.5% biotite in a matrix of .....”
She was persecuted for most of her life as a wackadoodle for claiming she could remember everything. Then they started finding other people who provably could remember details from every day of their lives.
My problem is that my brain is full.
I did not click on the link to watch the video. Later I clicked on a link to a story called 1902 England - Congregation Leaving Church then the link to a youtube video.

It showed on the right side the link to the “People who remember every second of their life - Total recall | 60 Minutes Australia” story.
In short I was followed and am being tracked!! I hate google!
I can relate. There are some things that I would not want to remember either, but nonetheless do... And I know I do for a reason: If anything, at least to learn from it, move beyond it and better myself. While there were two in the video who seem to have adjusted quite well, I pray for the one lady in the video who obviously has difficulty coping.
