is my memory normal?
I am 18 years old and I have the worst short term memory. I dont smoke weed or anything like that so my brain cells are not being damaged. Ever since I was younger, during a conversation I forget a word that I want to say. My vocabulary is horrible becasue ill know the word that I want to say but since I cant think of it at the moment I use a dumb word that barely makes sence. I forget things right after reading a sentance in a book. Sometimes when Im with a group of people I get discouraged to talk becasue I care about what they think or if they will make fun of the way I talk. People are witty and come up with interesting convos. I hear them having long lasting coonvos but mine are so short and I feel like its my fault. Do you think I mentally care to much about what people think and overthink what I want to say then it comes out wrong or do you think its a serious problem? Please help

You should see your doctor. He can send you for the appropriate tests. There are tests for memory. Rule out a physical problem first and take it from there.

Well you could have a real memory problem that is organic and would have to be diagnosed, OR you could just be very nervous and trying to hard to make a good impression. The one way I know best to improve ones vocabulary, is to READ. Read more books, or even magazines. Find something you are interested in and read about it. Reading increases your vocabulary and you will have better conversations. While reading if you don't know a word then look it up. That is the best way to learn it and remember it. Go to www.dictionary.com. Sign up for "word of the day" emails. They're free. A good vocabulary is the best way to impress people and feel comfortable in new situations and with new people.
Now if you do read and and find that you can't remember what you just read, then you may have an organic brain problem, so you should see a doctor about it.
HOpe this helps
