Is there a period in your life that you just don’t have many memories from?

@NanoRaptor There are probably a lot of them. How would I know?
@NanoRaptor Most periods of my life to be honest. There’s many years I can’t muster up a single memory from. Probably most years to he honest.
I have complete Aphantasia, might play into it. Or at least complete when I’m awake. I dream visually.
@NanoRaptor I don't have much memory of the future
@NanoRaptor semi serious, most of it.
More serious; If I'm reminded of things I'll probably be able to remember them for myself but if I try to access my own memories for the most part beyond a handful of significant key events my whole life is fuzzy
@critter_in_flux @NanoRaptor It's why I take so many pictures. I can remember things if I see the pictures enough. Other than that it's just bits of events. General impressions of people. But very little of "oh we used to do x y z together". Like I remember that my first friend when I was 4 and I use to play Batman and Robin, but I don't remember what that was like. I mainly remember it because I remember us saying that when we were older. Aphantasia probably plays a role.
And I don't remember anything specific before I was 5. Just later stories, and one image, from when we moved into a new house.
None of this is new. I've never been able to remember that stuff, even when U was young. Just impressions and limited scenes.
