A feeling that something happened in your childhood that you don't remember?

Question

I always have this feeling that something significant happened in my  childhood that shaped who I am today and I am the way I am. I always feel like it was something I blocked out of my memory though. Does anyone else ever feel like this? It bothers me all the time and Im always trying to figure out what is

Answer

YES.

Answer

Yes. But it's a certain smell. I've smelled it three times in the past year. My man has always told me that the strongest link to your memory is smell. Idk what this certaint smell is. But whenever I get a whiff of it, it makes me sick to my stomach and makes me really sad. Idk what it is or why it makes me upset. But I feel like it has to do with something bad that happened to me that I decided to block out. Part of me wants to figure it out but other parts don't...

Answer

Yes! I wish I knew if it really happened or not

Answer

Weird question... Do you ever feel fake or like you're not real??

Answer

I don't feel like that as much as I don't remember any of my childhood. My parents got divorced when I was 6. I only have little snippets of memories up until I was about 10. I know the divorce was bad but I think there are certain things that happened that I'm blocking out 😕

Answer

YASSSSS I CAN NEVER UNDERSTAND WHAT IT MEANS!!!

Answer

Allllll the time! I noticed a lot of people who agree have divorced parents. I do too.. But they didn't divorce until I was about 12 or 13.

Answer

Yeah, I always wonder where my anxiety about losing my belongings came from. I don't have any memories of my house being robbed.

Answer

Same. There are certain parts of my childhood that I just can't remember. My dad was military so we were able to experience a lot and my parents always took us traveling so we could experience new places and things but stuff that my siblings remember, I just can't. I don't know why. Even to this day, I'm 25, whenever my mom asks, I'm like sorry, don't remember and she'll get upset.

Answer

I've got this too.

My parents went through a messy divorce and custody battle when I was about 3 or 4 years old, and I only have odd memories of things, like getting a gift, and camping. They're oddly disconnected. It's odd partly because I've never seen one parent since.

If anything happened, nobody has told me and I don't have any anxiety about it specifically. It's been over 20 years since and to be honest I'm glad I don't remember if it did.

Like people have said, meditation, hypnosis therapies and creative activities may all uncover some insight as to why you feel odd, I've just been too lazy to look into it.
