Many people, myself included, are both blessed and cursed with having an excellent memory. Unfortunately, a great memory tends to be a curse more often than not. From remembering scarily accurate details about people to remembering unimportant bits of information, here are 12 struggles faced by everyone with a great memory!

1. You remember way too much about everyone you meet.

Hi, yes, I met you on August 5, 2007, and you were wearing a blue coat that I once saw at Kohl's and a really cute pair of orange Nike sneakers. Oh, and you were wearing this really cool pair of diamond earrings. How could you not remember that?!

2. Consequently, you freak people out by how much you remember.

What do you mean you remember which earrings I was wearing nine years ago?!

3. You never forget the embarrassing things that have happened to you.

That time you said "sevem times four equals 27" way back in second grade and everyone laughed at you? Yeah, you won't be forgetting that anytime soon.

4. People who constantly mix up events/people/places drive you NUTS.

No, I'm pretty sure it wasn't Jane that knocked your lamp over seven years ago, being as I was right there when Sally pushed it over. But believe whatever you want, I guess. I know I'm right.

5. You remember the most useless information.

Vincent van Gogh had an Uncle who was also named Vincent, but he went by the name "Cent" instead. Why do I know this? Because I read it once and my brain thought it was useful, that's why.

6. You can hold grudges FOREVER.

Yes, I remember you kissing the guy I liked in seventh grade just to spite me. No, I haven't forgiven you.

7. You feel like an absolute failure when you can't remember small details.

No, I'm sorry, but I don't remember which dress you wore to that one dance three years ago. I have failed you.

8. You avoid certain places like the plague.

No, we can't go there for dinner; I threw up at that restaurant when I was three, which obviously means I can never go back.

9. You frequently remember random, nostalgic childhood moments.

Remember when they used to let us pet the lobsters at Red Lobster? Man, those were the days.

10. You don't need a planner because you remember everything.

I have to read 100 pages of this book, write a 12 page paper on social injustices, go to these three sorority events this week and remember to go to work at noon today. Piece of cake. I don't understand why you'd have to write all of that down.

11. People rely on you to remember things for them.

Do you remember which store those sparkly blue shoes were in? I know it's been three months but they'd look great with my new outfit.

12. And even after all this, you still CAN'T remember anyone's name.

I remember you telling me you have a Dalmatian, though. Does your name start with a P, maybe?
