Does anyone else suffer from a poor autobiographical memory?

Ok so i have recently discovered a distinction in my memory “skills”. I was wondering if anyone else shared the same experiences.

I have a good memory when it comes to revising. For example I could write a whole list of studies and remember them quite well (as long as they were organised). Cognitively I could “place” them on the page so for example I would know that a study by so and so was on the top or bottom of the page and what subtitle I put it under.

I also have a good memory when it comes to remembering to do things which doesn’t seem to be shared with my housemates who always forget to do things and I have to constantly remind them (e.g. do their washing) which probably irritates them (hence I stopped doing it).

However I notice that I have poor autobiographical memory. I have problems remembering stuff that has happened to me. For example I forget what films I have seen recently although if I had cue (ie the name) I would instantly remember 90% of what happened in it. I also have a poor memory of my past. For example I cannot really recall anything I have done for my birthdays – only a couple of scene snippets.

Is this usual and I am just making things up, or am I in the minority here? I would expect other people to have this the other way around. I find it interfers with my socialising as I find it really hard to talk about myself to others as I don’t really remember anything and it takes quite a bit of conscious effort in order to do so (which is impossible when trying to hold a continuous convo).

So yeah, discuss.
