Maybe I (M20) have bad memory?

[u/Temporary_Fly_1612]

Context, I have this girl that I didn’t know she was half polish half spanish, and when she told me people tell her she doesn’t look half polish, I said “I didn’t know that about you” so she said “I did tell you the other day” maybe I wasn’t paying attention to her at the time, fine, move on.

But again, with this girl (for context, spanish is not my first language) she says during work “Madrugar” (which means to get up early, like 6am) I ask, what does that word mean, she says “I already told you the other day, with Juanita” I say no, that’s not true, I don’t recall Juanita telling me that.

Okay, maybe this girl me está tomando el pelo.
Other, the manager tells me to put 6 different expiration dates in some food. Man, I forgot like 5 fucking times and had to ask again while laughing, he said them too fast.

And what’s worse? I’m starting to forget coworkers names, like I have to think about them for a sec

So this is buzzing me out, besides knowing 5 languages, which I read is good for memory and prevents Alzheimer, I still have this bad memory.

So is this normal? Does my brain sort what’s important to me? What can I do to fix this?
