I'm trying to figure out if I
have an average memory, but the availability heuristic biases me toward finding examples of other people remembering things that I don't remember, or
I have a below average memory.
I guess I think this is a stupid question because how are you supposed to help me answer it via online message board? But it seems like kind of a typical problem to have, being unable to tell the difference between "I'm performing fine but I disproportionately notice my mistakes" and "I am actually performing poorly."
Do you have many more memories of other people remembering things when you don't remember them than you have memories of things you remember that others don't remember?
