You actually can't. Human memory is really quite terrible. Most of your older memories are likely distorted by other people telling you about them, or even just the natural decay that occurs whenever you recall a memory.

That is just factually incorrect And what people lie to themselves to make them feel better. Humans are great at recollection, why would you claim otherwise…?

The age 0-3 is the only time you should have zero recollection, anything else is something you should talk to neurologist or psychologist about, but sure lie to make yourself feel better I guess…?

There's a common misconception that trauma is the main cause of childhood amnesia. A logical assumption but is completely unfounded.

Fun quote from that article, you absolute scholar

The unreliability of memory has been known pretty well for a long time. It's why eye witness testimony in court should not be given nearly as much weight as the average person gives it.
