Answer 1

Put it in the vault under those dirty bedsheets.

Answer 2

If one keep remembering a memory, that would mean that it is something that affected him so much. In this case, it is very unlikely that this person will forget it completely or forever. What leads this person to feel that urgent need to forget is to lessen the pain that this memory inflict on the self. Since forgetting would certainly be a temporary solution, having an internal conversation could culminate to an escape from whatever the memory causes. Also, forgetting is a collosal mistake that one tends to resort to when facing a problem. If they develop that tendancy to forget when something hurts that s like saying hellooo to pathologies. Therefore, one has to accept reality as it is (and it is usually unfair and harsh) and understand that he or she must live with it.

Answer 3

The more you try to forget the more it will be mebedded in your long term memory. There really is no way to ensure that you forget something.... other than like a lobotomy..... but then you forget everything. I would say try to move on and leave it alone. If you can replace that bad memory with some good ones you can focus on the good stuff and hopefully minimize your remembering the bad ones. Good luck.

Answer 4

when you remember a memory you modify it. You add / subtract details and feels to it.. so find a quite place and remember it but I want you to add strange details, change it to make it funny, a joke, add noises, lights, make to brighter / dimmer, turn the volume up loud or down to a whisper or off. Add new people to the memory and take some out... keep modifing it until it is not the same memory.. and then it will not cause you pain.. this takes a while but it works..

Answer 5

well. i don't think you can forget that..

just try to see the good side of that event, just try to laugh at it if you can, don' t take it too seriously..
everyone commits mistake, learn a lesson from it so you'll know what to do the next time you encounter such event again..

i also had horrible memories from the past and i really felt embarrassed whenever i recall those things.. that was before.. but now, when i try to recall them, i just smile at the mistakes i made.. i've learned from them.. though i still feel regretful, but you can always ask God to help you deal with it..
i also thought that i'm the only one thinking that it was "horrible!", time will pass and people will forget what you did.
so don't worry, in time you won't think of it the same way you are thinking of it now..

Answer 6

to forget something you have to tuck it way in the back of your mind. Literally think about a little file cabinet in your head and put that crap in there , and never let it out. No matter what from that moment on never speak of it again. if it pops up immediately put it back in your files and think of something else. don't dwell for one second. Eventually it won't pop in your mind so much, and then as more time goes by it wil be completely gone..Good Luck

Answer 7

usually when a memory continues to plague you there is something left to learn from it or some unfinished business about it.or you have yet to forgive yourself if you were involved....you need to address it head on and confront the memory and make peace with it and then yourself premission to move on....i know this can be very hard...

Answer 8

I have found that by writting what *should* have happened and any time you get the "bad" memory start going through what should have happened in your mind might help
I wish I could change reality
