Is this an ADHD thing? I was diagnosed not long ago and I have this happen with some things. A friend who also has it is basically the opposite, remembering specifics about things like video games we both played at the same time that I simply do not recall.

    It is but it can vary by individual a lot. I think the way a lot of people describe it is they feel like they don't have control over what they remember. Like I forget things that I do all the time, but will remember a middle school friend's middle name, or a small obscure fact I learned years ago that I haven't used since.
