What does it mean when I can remember very small details about a conversation or an event like a year or two ago?

Sooo ADHD has this awful thing called a lack of short term memory, we are like dory in a way. Now, that longggg term memory is where we shine I could let you know exactly what I wore on my 1st birthday but not what I wore yesterday💔 it’s a blessing and a curse but now you know! That’s why you lose shit so easy and on the daily too😭

lol I’m the EXACT same way… I’ve used it to mercilessly quote entire conversations with my friends (only the funny ones ofc lol) but I can usually remember exact wordings of things. Also if I look at a picture I can usually remember exactly what happened the day I took it. BUT I can’t remember a simple list of instructions or where I put something that I’d just put down or my normal day to day life

I can remember a very obscure thing my friend said to me 5 years ago but can’t remember what I was supposed to get from the store. ADHD doesn’t make sense
