**False Memory: What You Need to Know**

False memory refers to the phenomenon where a person recalls something that didn’t actually happen or remembers it differently from how it occurred. This can be triggered by suggestion, misinformation, or even the brain’s natural tendency to fill in gaps. Our memories are not perfect recordings but are prone to distortion over time. Factors like stress, social pressure, and therapy techniques can sometimes implant or alter memories. While most false memories are harmless, they can have serious consequences, especially in legal settings. Understanding this helps highlight the brain's complexity and the importance of questioning memory reliability.

*I need help.
I've had this memory of being sa when i was younger and I've had this memory for years, I've been remembering this ever since primary (middle) school. Im almost 20 and My memory of what happened is so detailed, i feel like its true but im not sure because i was so young.
This has been bothering me for years.*

What if you don't have this and have a "photographic memory" of most past life events?
