I always thought that not remembering birthdays was something that just happened and did not think much into it. Recently I've been thinking about ...

Seeing that my children's birthday (yes plural, twins) is the most important day in my life there's no way I could ever forget & I'm getting older with a failing memory. And to forget important people's birthday is disrespectful (it would be especially mean if I didn't remember my wife's birthday). I only celebrate birthdays & Halloween lol so there's really no reason to forget those dates... even with a failing memory...
Yea definitely, I was talking about less important birthdays, I also remember my nieces birthdays, and my most close family and friend, but not that cousin that you only see once every 2 years...
I agree there; there's no obligation to remember anything else about anyone, but I don't forget things on purpose nor try to control it. As much control as a person wants to have over their mind & body it probably takes more energy/effort to try & fully control what you do & don't remember. I let it happen naturally & for things I need to remember I don't mind needing a reference of some sort; notes, calendars, quick reference docs when it comes to programming etc...
Totally agree, I don't do this thoughtfully, It's subconscious, I thought It might have something to do with that!
You must be single 😄
Nice one xD
I do remember the most important birthdays, but not the ones that are not needed...
The post was more about the information we remember, that is not "useful"...
I have to actively put reminders in Amazon to get something for my boyfriend and mother because they're holiday people and I'm not. Now, I remember my own birthday (only so I can milk it for a steak dinner or Def Leppard concert tickets) but otherwise, it's just a day. So for other peoples' birthdays, it's also just a day which is why it doesn't register for me to remember it. I only remember my boyfriend and mom's birthdays not because it's important but because it's important to them and I want them to be happy.
Yup, it's important to some people, for me not so much, maybe that has something to do as well!
I mean, you can always put them on a calendar.
Definitely, I don't use calendars though!
Then you don't want to xD
That's somewhat the point xD
I just save the birthdays on the calendar / notepad app
