People are often more likely to remember bad things than good things.
I’ve always thought of this as “hindsight bias,” which is that we tend to remember things that were less pleasant than we should have. The bad-and-good dichotomy also applies in the sense that we tend to remember bad things that we thought were important in the past, but had to leave the past.
If you think back to the past, you may have an odd memory of one thing or another. If you had a bad experience, you may recall that more than someone who hasn’t had that bad experience. There are people in our lives, like in our history books, who have had bad experiences, but we are very reluctant to talk about them. It’s really just because we don’t know how to talk about them that we don’t.
The “hindsight bias” is the tendency to remember things that are good when they happened, but we have a tendency to forget things that happened in the past. This is the reason why you hear a lot more about bad things happening to people that were close to us in our lives, because we are not as inclined to remember those things. For example, you may recall a time when you were very close to someone, but not that individual.
This is one of the reasons why it’s so easy to blame a person for their failure, but not so easy to blame the person. The only time you can blame a person is when you see them and you know they are doing something wrong.
This is why our memories are so important. We can’t do much with our memories if we don’t remember them. Even if it’s embarrassing for you, it is important that you remember. You can’t use the wrong memories to make you feel better, so you have to find ways to make the right ones stick. This is why we have so many lists of bad things that happened to us in our past.
