This Man Never Forgets Anything As He Has The Gift of Endless Memory | Meet the Super-Memory Man Who Can Remember Every Day Of His Life

Often people complain that as they get older, they tend to forget things that are very important to them. Many people also admit that they often forget the birthdays of their loved ones, leading to various misunderstandings between them. Now just imagine you have one such power that helps you to remember every moment of your life that happened years ago. Somewhere in hearing it will seem impossible to you, but what if we say that there is such a person on earth who does not forget anything as he can remember every day of his life.

This man's name is Bob Petrella who lives in Los Angeles, is famous for his superpower related to his sharp memory. In fact, Bob is one of the few people who have a very sharp memory and this condition is medically called Highly Superior Autobiographical Memory (HSAM), which can be defined as the ability to accurately recall an exceptional number of experiences and the dates associated with them from events that occurred in one's lifetime.

According to a report, only 60 people in the world have been diagnosed with this rare condition so far. Now you must be thinking about what is meant by sharp memory because the alphabets learned in childhood are remembered by almost all the people till old age. Then what is so special about Bob? 

So the answer is that Bob remembers not only the things related to studies but also the small things that took place in his life years ago. As he remembers in which year, on which day, and for which political party he voted for the first time. He even remembers the attires color that his friends wore at a birthday party celebrated 10 years back. Along with this, wherever he goes, if he takes a look at anyone present there as well as the things around, then he remembers each and everything quite nicely.

Actually, when Bob was younger, he used to think that remembering everything is a very common thing. But when one day a friend of his asked him what had happened on my birthday ten years ago, the result was Bob telling the full details of that day with even so many little things associated with it, which no one even remembered. Everyone was quite stunned to hear such a deep detail from someone and that too with so accuracy. Several doctors have also studied his condition to see how he is able to remember everything with such accuracy, but they too have not been able to find anything special. 

Well now you must be thinking that remembering everything is correct, but no, Bob doesn't forget anything, which means he doesn't forget his bad memories either. That's why he is always under stress because he is unable to forget these memories even if he wants to. So it is also necessary to forget things in life.
