How do you forget memories?

Answer 1

• Whether it is a lover or just a friend that has hurt you it will just take time to stop letting them rule your thoughts. Every individual is hurt by either a former lover or a friend and although in time you will forget that hurt you can move on by getting back in the dating game or finding new friends. In time you will look back on occasion and remember that person (throughout your life perhaps) but will surprise yourself that you don't have the same feelings for them and in many cases you are relieved things turned out the way they did. There is someone special out there for you, but you haven't met them yet.

There aren't many ways you can truly forget somebody that don't involve brain damage of some sort but I've personally found it easier to forget someone if we met while I was heavily intoxicated

Answer 4

Forgetting a memory takes a very special skill. Memories are stored based on the level of priority or emotional cataloging your brain assigns to it. If you can consciously reduce the level of passion attached to it, by reducing the importance of the memory to your welfare then you can forget it or block it out as you can block a call on your cell phone.

Answer 6

Not an easy question to answer.

First, you need to understand why you want to forget something. To want forget means you must regret it. Sadly, regret is the densest matter known to man. Let me explain that.

All anyone can do with regret is to put it down and remember where it is, or to carry it around and let the weight of it slowly crush you. These of course are metaphors for what we really do with regret. In the first scenario, you simply get on with your life. The regret is the result of a mistake, so you remember it, but you do not become consumed by it. You learn from the mistake and remember just enough of the incident so that you do not repeat it. In the second scenario, you do allow yourself to become manic about the matter. You mull it over in your mind constantly. You let it eat at you. You berate yourself for being so stupid as to let it ever happen. You let it define who you are. Eventually, everything else that was you is gone and all that remains is the regret that you let take over your life.

This may seem a bit off topic, but think about; it really isn't. Wanting to forget something is an effort to rid yourself of some regret. While it is possible to forget incidents of your life, it is not healthy. It can be the result of head trauma or an illness. It can result from other medical conditions such as sleep apnea or insomnia (sleep deprivation will cause something called 'Swiss Cheese Memory"). Emotional and Psychological trauma can cause this spotty memory as well. Many sufferers of abuse have noted "repressed" memory of the incidents that they find most harsh. some experts in psychology debate the reality of repressed memory. However, considering the complete and vivid recall of sufferers of PTSD, the potential for an opposite syndrome is just as likely. Brain or neuro-science is still in its relative infancy, so no one can say with any certainty if repressed memory is a reality or not.

From personal experience, spotty memory is a definite reality. I personally believe I have blocked memories from my past that are just too painful to recall. Try as I might, there are event from my past that I just cannot call up. Whether I have developed the ability to block painful memories as a sort of survival trait, or the gaps in my memory are more the result of years of sleep deprivation, I don't know and no medical professional has yet been able to tell me.
