I get that too. It does seem like an odd thing to happen. I wonder if most people get that or just some subset.

I was under the impression most people got that, but I'm realizing now that was more due to famous quotes to that effect rather than any more direct or reliable evidence.

I was under the impression that most people got that too. In fact I had heard, and thought credible, that of all the emotions that we experience it is embarrassment that we are most able to remember the visceral experience of down the track. Other experiences lose their emotional intensity a lot more rapidly.
