I need to see it written down to really comprehend it. If you say numbers to be they are immediately lost.
Yeah, my wife tries to read me lists of things and I have to stop her. There's no way my brain will retain it.
My wife and I recently read that people remember things different ways. One of the ways people remember is the emotions around a situation and not so much the words that were said.
This is me perfectly, I can’t recall what happened but i remember how everyone felt about it.
So I can’t tell you the words that someone said about going to the airport, but I can tell you they don’t want to go. But just not the words they used.
