If you lost your memory, who would you trust to tell you about who you truly are?

This question made me realize just how few people there are left that I can trust with everything. One sister Sherry, a niece Linda, and her brother Michael, my nephew. But their siblings from Misty and Shawn are half to Linda as is Michael half to Linda and step to Misty and Shawn. They are Lynn's step kids but more their mom than their real mom though she's not been with their dope-headed dad since 1992. He's a deadbeat dad who never paid a dime in child support for two kids of theirs, Linda and Jean. We lost there mom, my sister Lynn, on February 21 this year. Shit, ain't this a box of worms? So I trust Sherry, Michael, Linda who are blood and Nisty and Shawn who are not my blood but is as close as blood and I could trust them all the way. But not their stupid dad. OK! I guess thats it. All the rest are gone including the 5 closest friends of my life. But I still have my Cece! 💛✝️🕊

I hope you got to enjoy this Hawk, have anymore questions! 😂

If I lost my memory, there is no way to know who to trust with that task, as I would not know who they are.

I wouldn't know the difference between my family, my friends, or a complete stranger. In that situation, everyone would be a stranger, and I would have no information on which to base any level of trust.

I know you're trying to be smart, but try to imagine it this way. Think of it as having a will of who will be in charge of helping you remember who you are; rehabilitation.

So basically like a medical proxy, as it were? If that were the case, and I could designate a "life coach" in the event that I ever did lose my memory; I wouldn't trust any one person to be able to tell me that.

I'd need multiple people, to fill in different areas of my life. I'd want my mother, and my best friend, of course, but I'd also need my boss, and at least two of my exes.

The problem is that I wouldn't trust my mother to tell me about the bad parts, and only my boss (es) would know what kind of person I am at work.

My best friend could fill in most of it, but even he doesn't know everything that makes me who I am. I'd need my exes to fill in some of the missing pieces, and hope my friend would be able to filter out any potential lies they would tell me.

Overall, the thought is horrifying, because your exeriences shape your personality, and even if someone were to tell you every little detail of your life, you can't reexperience them, so you'd still end up a completely different person.

Your whole life would become a historical text of someone else, without any real impact on your life as it moves forward.

My best friend. She knows practically everything about me. Down to my password on my phone to get in it and everything that she might not know but I'm sure she does is in my phone notes. So all I would have to do is read it to understand who I am more but I also know that she would tell me as well. I trust her with all my heart and soul and know she would be the best person to do this.

My best friend.

She honestly knows almost everything about me. She's up to date with all my sibling drama.

We communicate everyday.

If i lost my memory, wouldn’t i also forgot who i should trust?


Assuming that obstacle is overcome, i have had the same best for the past 55 years. I trust him as much as i trust myself.

[DishLady]

Probably no-one. I'm the story-keeper for all my family, friends and clients.

[Jessica405]

Ni one. My memory of everyone would be gone.

[Lauren-green]

My twin sister, she knows me inside and out, how my mind works, what troubles me, my worst moments, my best moments etc. Sometimes we say we know each other better than we knows ourselves

[NathanDavis]

my friends, my family... my PC and phone too

[FreyaRed]

My dad and my brother. My friends aren't that credible

[exitseven]

My best friend who has known me since second grade. Unfortunately he had died. I guess my wife can make an attempt to do it.

[FunkyMonkee]

I doubt I would know anyone I could trust to tell me.

[AngryCarl3]

I'd basically be an infant so I'd trust whoever I saw first.

[Tomislav7]

Anyone but my mother - only women unable to see her son for who he is. A faqqot. Pray for her
