Do people forget what being a kid was like?

Anonus

Do they?

Calica

I've forgotten a lot of it yes

Anonus

I haven't

I don't think anything in particular is fading, but I guess it'd be hard to tell what is or isn't, especially once forgotten.

Anonus

I think my memory is stronger than most people's is

Tachyon

Some of it, i guess?  i mostly remember the embarrassing or uncomfortable bits.

And sometimes i'll remember my emotional state at a point in time, but trying to reproduce that state (e.g. by watching a cartoon i enjoyed at the time) doesn't work.

. . . i wish my memory was stronger sometimes.

The parts I remember make me wish this was the case.

I remember my childhood as a subject rather than something that actually happened to me.

I have complex feelings about my childhood, and about childhood in general.

Obā-san

i remember all too well

I've always tended to be fairly ambivalent towards aging. I wasn't ever one of the little kids who wanted to grow up right away, nor am I someone who really wants to reclaim my childhood. I just focus on what I enjoy right now. Some of that overlaps with what I enjoyed as a child, some of it does not. I don't remember many specifics of being a kid, but that doesn't really bother me much.

i never felt any urgency about growing up when i was little, but i always felt slightly older than my peers somehow

now i'm the reverse, i'm in my mid 20s and i feel younger than people in their late teens

Same. I'm never going to remember what it was like to be younger. But if I remember that, I can be understanding.

I remember stuff.

I don't know how much, because I can't remember all of it, and thus cannot be sure of how big the entire picture is.
