@sometimesitweed idk if i got your point but i think what you have is normal cause recalling something is a hard thing to do since it requires a lot of mental energy :>
@sometimesitweed I’d say since you recognize an info when you reread about it, it means your brain actually stores it in somewhere
and humans usually can’t force a recall of things we don’t use everyday or when we aren’t in a specific situation that calls for it, so it isn’t a personal flaw
