You also ha d ba d experience with school? Me too, it ru ined my childhood :/I'm saying no in a general sense. Yes, there's some specific instances where seeing something reminds me of a bad time. I have a hard time driving by my old school and the thought of going into the restaurant I work at fills me with dread as an example. Other things are more reasonable like fear of doing anything to my car's battery since it exploded in my face one time.
These, however, are extreme examples. For my general day to day, there isn't anything that I have strong memories toward when seeing. I don't feel anything when looking at old pictures, watching old videos, or looking at stuff I had when I was a child. I wish I could feel something though since I feel like I'm an outlier when it comes to the inability to feel sentimental.
I'm like this too but in the past I was more sentimental. Somewhere along the way, something happened to my memory and now it's getting hard for me to associate memories with emotions. Like I was trying to play "best moment/worst moment" to pass the time while on a walk the other week, and it was difficult for me to choose a best or worst moment of my life because I couldn't remember what events felt like.I'm saying no in a general sense.

Oh yeah, I guess I usually also get reminded of things mainly by things that I'm watching. It could be a situation a character is going through or maybe just something they say. I'd wager this is the most common source of remembering more powerful memories for me.I think sometimes I do but the frustrating thing with storing significant memories in specific objects is not being able to remember them at all until I'm reminded of whatever is there to trigger these memories, then it's almost like I'm experiencing them exactly as I did the first time. Most of my memories are triggered more by places and moods rather than objects or clothing though.
