I can easily remember bad times in my life, like being picked on in school, my parents arguing, never seeing my parent kiss each other, bad report cards and my parents' reactions to them, my car accident, being date raped, my marriage and divorce, my miscarriage, deaths/funerals....... This memories never seem to leave my mind and I don't have to think hard to recall them and I can remember all the details. But when I try to remember good times I have to think harder and sometimes I can't remember details about them and I do't have dreams about them. Like my best friend in elementary school and all our fun together, fishing with my father, riding my bike the first time, a birthday party, .....
See, I just made my point - I had to pause several times when trying to think of good times and the list is shorter than my list of bad times. Why is it that we tend to remember the bad times easier and more often? Is it because they have a bigger impact on us? What r your thoughts?
