memory and thinking too much?

Question

if you think too much whether you did something or not or what happened is it possible to forget the details of that or whether it actually happened?

Answer 1

thinking over a certain occurence alters your memory, each time you think of it, your memory is reconstructed and its possible that after a few sessions of thinking your memory might not be as pure as in the beginning, it will more likely be in the form of a schema of whatever the event you were talking about.
If in actual fact you think that you did something but you actually never did that, its also possible that if you think about it a lot, in the end you might think that you really did it, this is a source monitoring fallacy which can happen very easily.

Answer 2

well yes this can happen. and when it does, it is sometimes referred to as verbal overshadowing. this means that your ability to express yoruself in language overshadows your actual memory of something and your other sensory input.

Answer 4

well, maybe you will confuse yourself, but generally I think that overthinking something makes it tend to stick in your memory. so, no.
