Comment on Do old people still remember their childhood? Do people just start losing their memories and their sense of self as they get older?

How old?

I don’t feel like I’ve forgotten more and more. It’s more like I have only ever had a few memories from being a little kid.

Sense of self gets deeper, not lost. All those years of experience add up to more self, not less. I was, though, for sure more self-centered when young, less aware of others, more selfish.
