There are parts of my life that feel like they happened to someone else. I remember them clearly, but emotionally they feel distant like I’m watching a documentary about a stranger. I don’t know if that’s trauma, time, or just how memory works, but it’s a strange feeling. Curious if others experience this too.
Why do I feel disconnected from my “old” memories?

From my own experience, this can often be caused by trauma if you have reason to believe it’s that. Even smaller traumas can cause memory loss or just foggy memories, and even traumas that you don’t realise are traumatic can subconsciously cause this. I’m not at all qualified, just speaking from experience with my own foggy past memories.
